Hey guys, sorry i aint been around much latly. Just built my own forum about motorbikes. if anyone has one check us out by the way [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Just realised iv made it on the same hosting thing this ones made by! haha ... anyway.

i dont kno wif this is normal, but iv noticed a few of the babies seem to float?

they can swim fine, and look perfectly heatly, but iv noticed where as the others will sort of sit there, mid depth. One will just kinda float up, she can swim back down and everything, but sems to have to tuck herself under somthing or she ends up at the top :/!!

She's the biggest of the lot and looks fine!

any idea's?

Hi Craig

Normally a fish that appears to be unable to stay down is having a swim bladder problem. These normally rectify themselves, but maybe reduce feeding for 24 hrs and then give cooked, shelled pea thumbup

right ok, will do. Hard because she's in with 2 other females that i have.

Still abit small to go with the mother i think though.

Further too - (cus I forgot:)) Sometimes swimbladder issues can be caused by internal infections, so if reducing feeding and peas dont work, it may be worth treating with internal Anti-bac.
