I"ve got a fever.. and the only cure is more cowbell!
Mothers day, of all days, I discovered Ace floating upside down in the tank..
My heart sunk in horror..
Then he started swimming again and was fine till he tried to go down in the tank and instead he sorta flopped and then did a backwards summersault and *Blooop*... right back up...
SWIM BLADDER! *shakes a fist at it*
Ranchu's, As far as fish are concerned... are not the best swimmers..if they get too much air in their belly it makes them lose their "ballance"...lol...I thought my little guy was a goner... turns out he just had a little gas.
You haven't lived till you've seen a fish fart.
I went to the market and got some snow peas to feed them and it helped. I got them some algae tablets too (Thanks Uncle
nothing_shadow ) I can give them as a treat to help prevent it. *sigh* being a mom is stressful...
I got them another drift wood and set it up with a bubble stone so it looks like a geiser heheh! then they loved me so much they did a special fishy pyramid!
