Can someone please help me. My poor baby is sick. Ive had him 12 months & he is suspected to be about 2-2.5 years old.
The last few days he wont swim & has progressively gotten worse. He sinks to the bottom & is no longer eating. He lays on his side. I cant see anything else wrong with him so im suspecting swim bladder.
All water is fine & temp is high 70's in a community tank with 6 other fish (200 litres). Currently in a small tank of hid own in the large tank (a breeding box for my guppies!) So he can reach the surface easy. About 5-6cms deep with water. Filter & heat from main tank.
So far he's been fasting for 24 hours & I attempted a frozen pea just now but he isnt interested.
Am I doing the right thing? Could it be something besides swim bladder? Ill see if I can attach a pic.
