*datnoid problems

I just noticed this today something is wrong with him I can't find out what*


All other fish are eating well*

He's pointing downwards he wouldn't eat I put some food he looked at it and went back to look down*
The tank is a bare bottom so maybe he's just looking down?*
I got my net and chased him for 5 secs to see if he would move he did move fast netted it and checked him out*
When I let him go he swam down normally and pointed back down when I chased him.he swam normally so anyone can help? I put melafix in and I do have mardel copper safe and some Api salt of course I didn't dose all those only the melafix I will do salt today and maybe the copper safe tmr*
Some pictures

The photos won't show but what you describe sounds pretty common among some dats.Sometimes they will lay on their side or sulk in a corner and some do what yours is doing..If it is high up in the top corner of the tank it might being bullied.

Sorry to hear bro. It might be internal problems and may develop symptom like pop eyes. I had a dats with similar behavior. Try 25% wc, salt, med daily and hope it heal on it own. But usually it's not gonna make it. Worth to try. GL

does it look like it having hard time keeping its balance? If so Treat with espom salt and once string enough treat some internal parasite meds. Lost my NTT to this but the salt help bring it back a couple times before it died

No it stays vertical like that unless I open my fish room door to fast which makes a noise and it scares it and it goes to normal but goes back to that way what's espom salt? I have Api salt is it same? And I have copper safe I think melafix isn't that great right now

Tell us more about the tank and all other fish that are in there..How long have you had them? The Coppersafe is for dealing with certain parasites on the fish and in the water but that does not seem to be the problem here and I doubt the Melfix will help any either....When I click on any of those links the photobucket site comes and I see the Camaro username on the screen up but no photos show.
