Unfortunately these are quite generic and not-specific signs in common of many different pathologic conditions. The approach must be very radical in these cases. Check basic water and environmental conditions (PH, Oxygenation, NH4 levels and so on). The tank water should be between 75 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit. This category of problems is usually quite common. Once you know that these are under control observe Rocky for any possible abnormality on his skin and tail and eyes. If you notice anything more please write to us back again and we will be able to provide a more specific answer.
