JK Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 over the last few days it seems to have gained some extra bouyancy and now does a pretty good impersonation of a hot air balloon. First noticed the over it looked as if it was standing upright on its tail but in fact it was hovering just off the ground. Now it look like as if it is having trouble keeping itself down low and is drifting up to the top of this tank in this position. Anyone got any ideas what is going on here? Btw, all other fish seem fine and I've checked Ph, nitrite, nitrate, amonia and theres nothing out of the ordinary there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 picture? dropsy? (don't know if cats get that). Description of what it looks like might help if you can't get a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 looks perfectly fine from a visual point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchKiwiCowboy2 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Could it be a problem with the swim bladder? Have you seen any fighting which might have caused internal damage? Otherwise it might be caused by some sort of infection (very hard to tell if it is). Can you isolate him in a hospital tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
