Barrel Rolls

[Robris]

I dont know whether to laugh or be worried, but 1 of my Blue Cobalt has just started doing complete barrel rolls over the last 5 mins. I have probably counted around 6 or 7.

The fish swims and then turns sideways, upsidedown and then back up again, a complete revolution. Should I be worried? Is their a reason fish do that or is it just playing around lol

I got to go to bed soon as its 2.40am here so i hope i dont find my fish dead when i wake up

Does it seem to be breathing hard? What are your ammonia and nitrite levels? I've seen mine swim in circles, but never turn over upside down. I'd watch closely for any signs of illness. Either that, or you have a seriously strange cobalt.
