There are 10 fish in my tank..

My oranda is at the top now....occasionally he would swim around. He ate
some peas....im worried about his health.....twice i had to rescue him from
the intake of the filter...he was just stuck on there....hes really weak and
i am not sure not to do...its like he is sleeping..but when he does swim he
seems quite happy....no visable injuries or diseases....he not floating
upside down, slime coat is normal, gills are a nice dark pink...

i dont know what to do...i hope someone can help or assure me that the fish
will get over it....
