Does this help with a diagnosis? What do you think of him? Do you think he is a boy? As I said when I first got he he really didn't swim like this at all he only bobbed up and down on his nose. Do you think he may get better?
She looks fine, I think maybe it had an infection at some point that affected it's swim bladder, but it looks healthy enough, pity she was eating so was nose down anyway :roll: :lol:
I am plumping for female Leanne. :)
I will put another video up with her swimming and now I think she is called Sally. If it is swim bladder can I do anything else for her?
Sally lol!!
I believe that if it is a damaged swim bladder, there is nothing more you can do. If she is not getting worse, then all should be ok. :)
Sorry steve 1 more question. She seem very happy on her own, but I was wondering if I could put some of the young ones in with her for company? My concern then is that when they become adults they may bully her and if I have to take them away she may get sad and sulk and then we know what happens. Or they may be used to her weird swimming behaviour and not bother. What do you think?
I don't think that they will take much notice of her swimming, but she is a lot older than a juve.
As part of a qt I would be introducing a healthy fish to her tank as a matter of course anyway, so you could do that, but of course you will have to monitor their health for a few weeks to see if they cross contaminate. But do it, has to be done sometime. :)
I have one little one not doing too well in with the other juvies she is much smaller than the others I will put her in. I have had her for about 3 months now and Sally I suppose 6 or so weeks. Thanks Steve
Is Sally a heckle or a cross?
I went to the store today where I got sally from and still there was her partner that she came in from o/s with. I had to get him for her so they can be reunited. With her problems I am sure they won't be able to have babies but if it was love what a happy ending I could be. I am a sucker for a good ol love story. :lol:
