ACK! Albino Sen floating!

[K626]

Ok, here's the problem, he's having problems staying down. Like a swim bladder problem. I can see the pocket of air in him when he's under the light. What do I do? I should probably know how to fix this but I just can't think right now.

Did he just eat? Sometimes when my poly stuffs himself to the brim, he can't stay on the bottom of the tank, but he returns to normal after a day or so. Also, what size is your albino? The one I'm talking about is only about 4 inches, so it may only effect smaller bichirs.

he's only about 5 inches,

He didn't just eat either, he ate yesterday morning, and was fine thismorning..... :/

I'm very happy, he's on the bottom and eating like a pig again. Good lord that made me nervous. I was losing my mind worried about him, it took a year of searching to find him and if I lost him I was gonna cry.

I know how you feel man, I was terrified when my poly was floating... just kinda hanging there limp with a helpless "look" on it's face.

Glad he's all right though!

Good to hear he is all better. I lost my first poly and was so mad, but I have a new one and have had him over a year now with no scares so far.
