Help!

[lilfishie]

i was checking my sister (paige) fish when i noticed one of the juvie males was on the floor and just kept spinning/rolling i have placed him in a net inside a breeder trap(he was stuggleing to reach the top hence the net) is there anythink i can do to help him?

try tonic salt such as aqualibrium as the fish could be missing vital electrolytes and minerals.

i don't have any and all the LFS and Pet stores are closed around here now

I would issolate the sick guppy, when hes spinning is it fast as though he's chasing his tail.

he has been isolated since yesterday and seems able to swim properly now after a bit of food, the strange thing is though i went to feed the fish down stairs and a neon was doing the same thing allthough he also seems a little better but not completely. i just don't what this could be, we had a platy do the same thing a few years back and tried to euthenise it, we left it out of the water for hours then put it back to se if it was dead and off it went again, in the end we just put her in the breeder and she recovered. i just hope these two will to. thanks fo all your help

Spinning really fast like they are chasing there tail can be whirling desease.
