candy Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 hi everyone . last night my tire track eel started acting a bit strange, he was swimming in loops all over the tank and sitting on the gravel with his belly up. he is a bit pale and his breathing is a little shallow compared to normal.but its very strange that he is out and about and not swiming away when people come near the tank. all in all he does not look good all my water test have come back normal and nothing out of the ordenary has been added to the tank same food same time same place.im allway carefull about my tank stuf(buckets ect) staying as tank stuf and not getting used for anything thing elce so i dont think something has gotten in the tank.. also my bisher and pleco are acting normal ...so does any one have any idears about whats wrong.... any help or idears would be wonderfull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Have you noted odd poo or anything? Perhaps he has internal problems. If only we could ask them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
