fishclubgirl Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Have an angelfish who has had balance issues for over a month. She's in a healthy tank and the other angelfish is fine. Anybody got some ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogfish Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 What does the fishes spine look like, I've got a serpae tetra that always points up and struggles to swim straight for a few months now. It's spine has a distinct curve near the tail fin which the others in his group do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis101 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Probably due to a swim bladder disorder. It can be caused by constipation (feed shelled peas), internal bacteria infection (meds), or could be a genetic disorder. I'm assuming if it just started recently than it is not the 3rd possible problem. A good thing to try if the peas don't work is to either quarantine the fish and add epsom salt to the tank, or just add epsom salt to your entire tank.
