ok i posted about my aro in an earlier post about him acting "broken" well he did get better so i put him in my 180 with a green severum a p bass and a lima about a week and a half goes by and he acts fine , eats , swims almost normal , his *** was up head down sometimes but none the less acted fine till 2 days ago, I go to clean the tank and he starts laying on his side cant swim right cant get upright so i yank him and put him in my 20 gal qt tank not 2 min later hes normal even chasing goldfish and seems happy wats up wit dat any ideas ??? anybody???:nilly:
 
I'm suspecting a swim bladder disease. With some variations of these disease, the fish will have normal appetite and be appearing healthy but will gradually waster away due to decreased mobility. The fish will be able to swim and propell itself (but will wobble and either drag tail or move head down depending on the fish sp.) but will look strained.

You may be able to treat it if acted on early. I lost my 12" Temensis from a swim bladder disease--after feeding a frozen shrimp that was left uneaten and kept in the fridgerator (not the freezer) which probably becamed infested with microbes.

Do some reading over the web over the cause and treatment of this disease. I hope it'll make it.
 
:iagree:
