sick minow

[munkybutter]

i recently added 2 corys 1 betta and 7 neon tetra to my ten gallon tank (i may move the betta out as he is being agressive) and i noticed that one of my minows isnt right, he holds his tail at a funny angle and keeps sinking and leaning to the side and isnt able to swim properly, he's eating fine but its a bit of a struggle and he keeps resting on the bottom whats wrong with him? none of the other fish are showing any signs of illnes and l appear really happy and healthy.

thanks for any help

Does he try and swim, or does he just sink? Is there anything obvious about his appearance? It may be swim bladder disease or something that you may not definitly see. I would go to the newbie section and check out the posts about the different diseases. And find the right cure for it.

he trys to swim and i just notied a shunk mising from his tail, i think maybe the fighter has had a go at him. ill take the fighter out and put him into his own tank.
