Has Anyone Ever Done This Before?!

[RadioHitandRun]

one of the bala sharks i had was swimming like his swim bladder was messed up, i isolated him and then after a few days he righted himself.and is still alive today.

i was under the impression once the fish swims upside down thats all folks, is it that the swim bladder just got infected and was cured? whats the deal?

I have hade plenty of fish have trouble maintaining water balance and then become fine. Never my balas, but a gourami and a Ctenopama have both had a nightmare time and come fine the next day.

Be careful reading all the fish sites on ill health, you'll soon see that if you read enough, every sinlge fish is dieing from cancer/infection/parasites etc. etc. when it is just normal behaviour.
