My adult green terror has been in a 225 bare bottom tank for a month, no bullying and other fish are fine. At fir I thought it he was staring at his reflection, but all day he kept his nose down and body up, I put him in 125 with gravel bottom and still doing it, any help

read and seems like bloat but he is a bottom eating fish, only tank in my 225 that eats directly from bottom, got his own food, he eats raw tilapia sometimes. He also loves to swim through air bubbles

He could have bloat . Or is constipated. Try feeding the poor guy some skinned peas. That usually works wonders .

Swim bladder infection. Treat with one teaspoon of Meth Blue in a 5 gallon bucket of tank water for 30 mins a day for 5 days. This should clear it up. Do not feed for three days. Once the fish starts eating again feed it one skinned green pea. Be carefull not to over feed going foward feed one half what you would normally feed for the next two weeks after treatment. Keep up with water changes.
