One of the new shubunkin babies from late last year is now about 2" long. A real pretty fish but it can only swim with its head up. It swims across the surface with its head on the surface and its body hanging down. Its swim motion is odd too. I have looked and all of its fins are normal and the body is ok too. I have seen swim bladder problems when a fish that floats on its side or can not dive but this is really weird. It is like it does not have a swim bladder. It does swim down to the bottom and eat off the bottom so it can dive but it swims with its head up and body down.
Anyone have any ideas if this is something I need to treat or just let it live its life swimming weird?
Thanks
