Betta Fry With Swimbladder Probs

[juliehainsworth]

Two of my 4 week old fry have swimbladder problems, they are still very active and can catch daphnia and anything that swims past without problems! I need to know if they might grow out of it or would I be best off culling them?

Thanks

Leave 'em be... sounds like they'll be okay.

...and raise the temperature a bit and they'll be ok.

They generally grow out of it but depends how severely affected. I've had some CT's lately with problems, but they are easing as they are getting older.

I find if you also put them in faster flowing water it can sometimes get them swimming around more and that helps too.

I just moved mine into their grow-out and noticed a couple of "tippy" ones so another filter has gone in and hopefully they will improve

Thanks for replying! I didnt fancy culling them they look ever so cute the way they scoot around the bottom of the tank! I will set the filter current a bit higher and raise the temp as suggested! I'll let you know how they get on!
