ive just noticed about an hour ago my venustus cichlids almost dead it is goulping and he kinda just floating around so we got it out and had a look down its mouth there looks to be a big meat looking pink in colour bit of inside at the back of its throat :cry::cry:

what could it be???

it isnt a pellet we thought about that!!!!! and checked :(

its jaw has kinda dropped down looking like a holding female :-? but its not holding!!!!

any ideas i really dont think it will make the night :cry::cry:

i am not too sure without seeing fish, it will look like a pinkish ballon at the back of its throat

gills are normally red but can be pink from low oxygen content or internal haemorhage

putting a pin in it will help it deflate if it isthe bladder, hypodermic needle is better to allow air out

i would not expect to see that in a tank fish unless it has an infection in swim bladder or a rock has fallen on it

this is only guess work though
