My fish is in trouble,
I think my fish Sally is in some major distress and struggling to swim. I have mentioned her in the past about her tail weighing her down. The last time I was given advice about her maybe having bladder issues and fed her the peas and that seemed to work in that situation. Now she's not having the same issue, she is having to work so hard to swim and pretty much just lays on the bottom until I feed them. She will struggle to suck some food off the top and then she goes back to her spot on the bottom. Also, she has been surfacing like a dolphin and gulping air a lot. She will do that and you can see her release bubbles after. Someone had mentioned tail trimming?
If anyone has information about tail trimming, please let me know, and in the meantime I will do some research myself. About the bladder thing, when they do have a that, do they struggle with buoyancy, or sinking, or can it be either or? Here are a few photos from when she had the bladder issue.
Thanks All
