I came home after work today to find my favorite gar looking really bad. He was lying on his back in the corner of the tank not moving much.
I have a 180 gallon
2 X 10" silver aro
11" florida gar
8" peacock bass
7" tin foil barb
13" Lima Shovel Nose cat.
I have two emperor 400 hobs' with 2 Eheim Pro 3 canister filters and 2 Koralia 4's for water movement in the tank.
I do weekly water changes, and even this morning he was swimming around just fine. What could be wrong? I am uploading a video as I type.
I have kinda inspected him, his fins are PERFECT, so I don't think he was bullied, his scales and color is normal, but I did notice his butthole is kinda pink. Also it looks swollen, his tummy is kinda pinkish too, not that creamy yellow color. What could this be? And what steps can I take to save him??? Please help!!! All the other guys in the tank are swimming around just fine like it is any other day, but he is lying on the bottom doing the occasional barrel roll. His fins are moving fine, but it is like he has no ability to float, I bring him to the surface, and if I let him go, he sinks like a rock...
Please!
