Behavioral Symptoms of Sick Fish
Behavioral Symptoms Which Should Send The Alarm:

There are many unusual behaviors which can cause concern. Observe for those which repeatedly occur.

Isolating from the rest of the herd, laying on the bottom especially if the fins are clamped to the body, a head-down
attitude, a head-up attitude, breaching (partially jumping above the water surface), repeatedly flashing or rubbing
against the pond floor or walls, a slimy, white excess slime coat, not eating, spitting, coughing, shaking of the head
while swimming in "reverse" and so forth.

These observations must be considered along with any other pertinent information.
