dcase Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hi Tonight have noticed one of my Pearl Danios swimming up near water level (just under it) and seems to be sucking in air although I cant see him break the surface. I have had the tank stable for 6-7 months, readings are all fine and other fish (incl. Pearl Danios) are all fine. There is no physical issue I can see although fish couldbe slightly bigger than usual (maybe a bit bloated) although I can't be sure ... I have sevral of varying sizes.l What can lead to his sort of behaviour and how should it be best treated? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcase Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi Danio is still exhibiting same symptoms ...... anyone out there with an idea on this? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Not sure if there is any treatment since symptoms are vague. If it was only one fish I would leave it and see what happens. If it is being harassed by other fish then separate it. Could be a female with PMS perhaps? :lol: Slightly bloated could be it is constipated or a female may be getting egg bound. This happens sometimes and I don't think there is anything you can do. If constipation, try feeding it a bit of cooked, shelled pea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
