Fish Swimming Downwards.

[kaaskaas]

Hey guys,

Having a problem with one of my neons, after feeding he seems to have a swollen belly and he keeps swimming downwards. If he stops swimming for a second, he just floats back up to the surface.

What could this be? My parameters are all fine and didn't change.

Thanks

All i can say right now is a bladder problem?

yeah, that's what I tought and after some further reading, it appears I may have been overfeeding (although i only give them what they can eat in 1-2 mins every day). No food then tomorrow and a pea the following day.

Now for this fish, I heard that because the problem appeared just after i've fed them, he should be back to normal in a couple of hours. Is this correct or is there anything else I should try?
