catshanon Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 My big angel, 4" tip to tip, suddenly was swimming head down from Thursday night..He couldn't stay upright, and was always in the position with his head pointing down. I guessed it was a swim bladder infection, and thought that it would go away. However, today it has gotten worse, and he is lying on the side..He is still alive and flapping the fins, but has gotten weak and I am fearing the worst.. All other fish are fine and he is the one that suddenly became ill. I haven't switched foods, either, same old NLS pellets. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks in advance, Raj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
