Sandy Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hi everyoneI have a long fin zebra danio that seems to be swimming with its front fins out. None of my other danios do this, their front fins are tucked beside them. This particular danio was getting pulverised last week by the others, mainly the leopard danios who were ganging up on it and giving it hell. It had a great hiding spot under a log and in between the roots of some of my plants. I have been observing them as much as possible and suddenly realised that this zebra danio was out and about swimming around with some of the newer zebras that I purchased about 10 days ago. The only thing different is his/her front fins and a slightly odd swimming style. Im guessing this maybe because it was under constant attack and some damage was done. It seems quite happy now and the attack behaviour of the other danios has stopped. It was quite upsetting to watch and I couldnt get it out to put it in another tank but fortunately all seems well now. My levels were all fine during this attack behaviour although i did lose a few fish during those few weeks that it was happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I would agree with your guess about damage. It may sort itself out eventually and swim properly over time, then again it might not. As long as it is now happy, and can get its own fair share of food, I would not be too worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
