[big fish little fish]

Just from what i can see it may just be the quality of the pics but are you sure it doesnt have finrot

What are the symptoms of that and can it be cured?

Sorry the fish is suffering it's dying sorry, i would end it's suffering.

My orange pip layed on her back for days like that not nice, it the end nothing to be done.

the tail slowly rots away and the ends look tattered and some of the fins do the same if your fish has those symptoms quarantine it then get some treatment from your local pet shop it probably cant be treated as my fish died of it but you could prevent it infecting your other fish

Know I sound abit naive but how should I do that cause I'm still quite new to fish

It sounds a bit harsh to kill it but if you cant find out what is wrong with it soon then it may be the best thing

Clove oil but i doubt you have any.
can you issolate the fish.
It's swim bladder and it on it last legs.

No have none of that either ( god feel so useless!!!!!!!!!)

if you don't have any clove oil, other humane ways of euthanizing are to decapitate it or to destroy its brain by crushing it. Even though they sound inhumane, the fish dies very quickly. Other than that, i would recomend going out and quickly getting clove oil. It is avaliable at most pharmacies (from chemists? in UK) and at health food stores.

just do what you can for the fish and if it does die at least you tried

You can use vodka but it awful to watch, just keep her in a quite place and let her pass peacefully.

I would not recomend vodka (or other alcohols). It is very hard on the fish. Tried it once and the fish thrashed around for a while.
