fishlover2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I have a green Severun about 25cm. recently she has started swimming head up in the tank. Does anyone know what is wrong with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Not without more information. What size is the tank and what tank mates? Are the other fish fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishlover2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Not without more information. What size is the tank and what tank mates? Are the other fish fine? I had similar size couple of oscars and some chichlids. Had them for 18 months in a 500l tank. the other fish are all good and healthy. i have moved it to a 4ft tank couple of weeks ago and is all by herself. no changes.

Caryl Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Is she eating normally? Has the behaviour been like this since she was moved? She might be sulking without her mates :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishlover2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 She is not eating as she used to. She eats a bit. She was only moved when she started behaving abnormally. She was like that when she was in her old tank. I moved her thinking that she was picked on or something but she is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm afraid I have reached the end of my questions :-? I'm not too good in the disease department. Can anyone else suggest something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 define head swimming up please. do you mean she is looking up and is at the top of the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishlover2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 yes it does swim up. please let em know what to do.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 water change. then put the air pump on if you have one. put the stone in a corner of the tank. that will create water flow. is there enough water agitation at the surface?

mitzy Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 my gold severum has been doing this too but not all the time and does not swim up just looks up at the top of the water from the bottom of the tank tho i think mine is just checking the guppies out or maybe lonely and wants a partner. I have not worried about it cause she dont do it all day long and is still eating etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
