Is he "Special" or Sick?

[Team-ADS.com]

Hey guys!

I know a few of you read the "Barb Emergency" post. I got this wierd act on video. Watch and let me know what you think! I just filmed this about 20 minutes ago, then stuck it in for fast video editting. =) And had to add a little music!

It is kinda funny. After this video... he is back to himself. Only thing I noticed though is that today he seems to be staying by himself near the bottom and not schooling. That is new. Usually he would be normal, but even during feeding time he has been staying alone.

Post your thoughts if you watch this video. It is approx 4 MB, but streaming, isn't that long. Don't laugh!!! Alright... I admit, I did after I watched the final cut.

The "Special" Fish Video Link

Let me know ASAP!

LOL! Me either! He does this off and on! He is fine some days and others flippin' out, Literally as you can see.

I'm sorry but that was hard to resist laughing at. He looked like he was enjoying it until he got dizzy after stopping and had to sit down

I know! I dunno what the hell is going on with him! I think he is "Special" , but I wanted some feedback before I special order him a little helmet!

he's sick alright...he's a friggin nut case..lol

he looked like he made himself dizzy...

lol! Well... if he is in fact sick... How do we fix it?

It looks almost like epilepsy. Like he has a short circuit in the brain. I should think the greatest fear would be him hitting himself on the rocks and causing some major trauma. Perhaps little white tank?

 

[my_fallen_angel]

does he always do that??

I think you should send him to fishy heaven that couldnt be good for him.

i would have no idea how to fix that.

 

[Relork]

to me it kind of looks like a swim bladder problem... but I dunno

Well... ANy thoughts would help.... he is swimming fine again... still a little loney, but swimming.

i dont find that vid funny at all, i find it distressing to watch


imo u should put this poor fish out of its pain.... so sad

If he is beyond saving I will... However... he seems to be fine after these brief spazzem's. I will check his status tomorrow morning and we will see. I may isolate him in a smaller tank and see, but I think he might pull through. We will see. He does this off and on. So we will see.

It looks very much like swim bladder disease to me, I think it's a good idea to move it to another tank.
