Why is my bottom feeder is lying sideways?

If your bottom feeder is lying sideways, it could indicate stress, illness, or water quality issues. Fish often lie in unusual positions when they are struggling to swim or are feeling unwell. It's essential to check the water parameters, such as temperature, pH, and ammonia levels, and ensure that the tank environment is suitable. If the situation doesn't improve, consider consulting an aquarium specialist or veterinarian for further advice.
