My Glo Light

[scouse_george]

hello for about a week now i have a glo light tha seems to have somethin up with it 1 gills seems more open than the other ... the other more or less closed ... the water is fine i do water changes every week .... i have been crushin snails and they seems to eat them in 1 and not lettin go of it could this be a problem? it doesnt seem as strong it can swim but not properly it fights to swim more or less? wha would be the problem?

also to add its swimming on its side and upside down the other glo lights are chasing it or maybe trying to eat it? my glo lights and harlequins do chase eachother ( not glo lights chasin harlequins ... just chasin their own kind ) why would this be?

Hi SG, sorry no one has answered. This sounds like a swim bladder or other problem. If you have not already lost the fish you might also try a post in the emergencies section. Its pretty rare to have fish come back from these types of symptoms though and sometimes aquarists will resort to one of the various measures for sparing the animal pain on its way out (chilldown and various others.)
