[fishfishfish]

i was movig rocks ouyt of my tank and pinched 1 of my synos.hes still allive but in a half circle.i just looked at him and hes showing m,ore movement.is he gunna be ok

not sure, but in the mean time, you can do a few things to help him. Turn off the tank lights, and leave the room dark. Don't feed tonight, (wait until tomororw) and stop working in your tnak. This will ease stress and hopefully help him recover

 

[WILDER]

I agree. hope the swim bladder isn't damaged.

 

[fishfishfish]

hes swimming in circles

 

[WILDER]

He's stressed leave him to settle down, turn tanks light off and keep checking him, good luck.

 

[fishfishfish]

i will give updates every 15 mins.

lights are off and hes still swimming in circles.i have him + my other in a in-tank holder

lights r off still doin it.how long should it take to tell if he is fine

 

[Durbkat]

That may not have been the best thing to do because it most likly stressed him out by catching him and putting him into something smaller than what he was in. So put him back into the tank and let him be.

 

[fishfishfish]

my cichlids would tear him apart since hes wounded.ive had experience

 

[SPLiSH]

Leave him where he is and try to cause minumum stress. I'm sure he'll be fine. Keep us updated!

 

[tttnjfttt]

Ok, you did what was necessary to try to hlep him but please leave him resting quietly. Frequent checkups won't help anything.

 

[fishfishfish]

ill keep lookin at him W/ THE LIGHT OFF OF COARSE.

i just look through the glass.he is in the plastic floating things

 

[Durbkat]

Have you seen the other fish picking on him?

 

[fishfishfish]

he is now twisting in like a circle.O only like a roll

 

[fishfishfish]

cmon...bump

i doubt anyone can help you much more than has allready been said
i hope hes not in a tiny breading trap. if so this could cause him even more stress then again if you leave him with some nasty fish he could be gone so its a lose lose situation.
good luck bra
