fancy fish URGENT

by **liz2** on Wed Jan 27, 2010 7:10 am

one of my fancy fish has swimbladder or similar. she keeps sitting at bottom of tank nose down and then sometimes upside down. The other fish are bullying her so i have taken her out and put her in a small bowl. What meds can I try? She had a pea the other day but that hasnt seemed to help. I have swim bladder treatment but not sure if that is what is matter with her
she hasnt moved for ages. dont know if I have stressed her by moving her. she is nose down on the bottom I have added internal bact. meds and she is in conditioned water with a gentle air stone, cant think of anything else

when she swims dose she like wobbel through the water not in a streight line? if she dose then it sounds like swimbladder so i would treat it with the swim bladder med you have

You could try the Epsom salts bath technique. Theres a guide to how much salts to use in the sticky in betta health.

she is laying on her side in the qt tank, still breathing. I have clove oil but am too much of a coward to use it. Sad

Hi
If she is looking really bad, pine coning etc, then the clove oil is probably the kindest option. Pop her in a small container and once you add some clove oil, cover it up and leave it in a dark place.
Dont watch, just leave for 30 minutes, then maybe get someone else to dispose of her.

she never pine coned, not a mark on her, she has just been nose down for days. she is dead now anyway. thanks for trying to help xxx
