Armatus with swim bladder infection

[mshuangchao]

Very bad news for me...
I noticed he was unable to stablize himself a few days ago and now he's belly up!!!
Good news is his NOT dead, far from it in fact, just unable to swim properly and crashing a lot. I've finally got myself a broad spectrum bactericide, hope it does him good. As of right now, I have postioned him between some decor so he can sit at the bottom upright and not crash about. Fingers crossed, I'm prepared for the worst, sorry my lil' armatus, I couldn't do any better...
Please wish me good luck yeah?

Wish you the best. I would try to add as much air in the water as possible. I remember my Armatus would swim to the surface every blue moon and I assume he was grabbing some air.

How about some pics or a vid?
Has he eaten since acting weird?

I got my fingers crossed for ya....

At least 40cm...
He didn't make it
sorry...
sorry

I think I'll quit with Characins for a while, just not good enough
after all those months and this is how it ends
Feels worse than my last break up...

I think I'll get myself a few armatus after I build a giant aquarium for them in the future, but for now, I don't want to waste another beautiful fish just because of my stupid mistakes.

Hey, keepinfish. Hope you have much better luck than I did
never give up, if he's still breathing there's still hope...
