widow weirdness

[Nauplii]

shes still swimmin a lil funny, and its been 2days. if she doesnt eat soon should i give her another drop or 2 of the oil?

Is the fish still not eating, i wouldn't give her anymore it could give her the runs, try some shelled peas, good luck.

ive just fed her and shes eating a bit! woo, she still swims on her side a lil but she used to do that sometimes anyway. thanks for the help guys. well wilder

Maybe she just has a permenent swim bladder problem and its just a defect and maybe the bladder is deformed causing the fish to tilt sideways. Once my biggest tetra started tilting sideways but found out it was because I didn't have the filter up high enough to get enough oxygen throughout the tank. So I turned it up and it returned to normal.

Sorry was having something to eat myself, that great news, but still early days, what did she have to eat.

 

[Nauplii]

bit of flake food i gave em

 

[WILDER]

Try some shelled peas, cook them longer and they go mushy alot easier to feed.

i regret to say that after much time and effort on trying to save my fish, it sadly died about 10minutes ago. down to 1 widow now

 

[Durbkat]

[WILDER]
