Loss of balance?

[gra72]

Hi,

Can anyone help please? One of my X-ray tetras has started swimming badly, as though he has lost his balance. Sometimes he goes round in circles, even upside-down! I noticed this when I came home form work yesterday, but he seems slightly better today. All the other fish are fine.

I'd appreciate any advice you can give please.

Thanks,

Gra

Sounds like it could be a swim bladder problem. I suggest treating with some anti-bacterial meds, like Melafix or one of those pill-types.

swimbladder should take care of its self all you have to do is feed the fish a few frozen peas and keep the water just as clean as you possibly can.
