I don't know if anyone has any ideas about this. I have an albino angel that really cannot swim.
His issue started when a heat wave hit adelaide, the tank went from 26C to 32C in about 24hours and i found him on the bottom of the tank he looked dead but upon poking him i found this was not the case.
I moved him to the other tank because it has low water flow and no other angels to pick on him but still he just lays on a plant and only swims around when I put food in there. His swimming looks exaggerated & labored and not graceful like the other fish. He must have problems with boyancy.
I think he must have swim bladder issues, is there anyway to treat this kind of thing?
He still eats ok and looks in ok condition just he can't swim, he's been like this for a week or so I was hoping the issue would sort itself out with rest but it does not look like it is improving. Is there anything I can do for him besides the freezer?
