Had one like this too. Put him in just a couple of inches of water with an airstone gently bubbling. We used a tub and floated it in the tank. Add a little Stress Coat + if you have it. Ours came round after a few hours of being kept quiet. Good luck

changed the filter for the sponge filter, so flow is sooo minimal

hes perked up again im really not sure

 

[Phoenixbaby]

hes all wierd again now

he just ate a pellet, n then proceeded to end up on his side

what am i doing wrong?

mine started to swim on his side just before he died, but he was quite old then at my reckoning (LFS fish)

thanks

hes stopped swimming like a pleb now, fingers crossed

sorry... mine ddid that same exact thing. But I strongly believe that ists due to a tumor or moneywort poison.

did you try doing the pea thing? He may just be getting old... tis da fate of life

 

[Phoenixbaby]

hes only a baby, so not old at all

and no tumor

infact hes actually getting alot better now

hes swimming around, fins up, looking eager, eating now
