if they were flown i wonder if the pressure changes were responsible....if it was pressurized the air bladder would be compressed and shrink....
Actually it is the opposite, if you take a packet of crisps of chips as they call it in US on board a plane you will see the bag inflating up like a balloon in the air.

exactly... air bladder inflates up on the way up and didn't have a chance to re adsorb the air on descent...if it was now pressurized the air bladder would get smaller

Just realised what you meant, yes that is possible.
 
Hanging on...nearly seven in the morning....took the retarint away, she gave some jumps and again belly up...
 
You must have had a sleepless night- keep trying to prop him up in the upright position- and hope the bladder can recover so that he can maintain his balance and buoyancy.
 
Jeez.Is this the season for Aro fatality or sickness?Sorry about your predicament guys but you are not the only one.I lost my Jardini about 2 hrs ago.I woke to him swimming upside down.I checked parameters while the wife was holding him in front of a power head right way up.0,0,15 .Water o.k.He hung on for quite a while but didn't make it unfortunately.He did how ever jump last night for the first time so I can only put it down to injury related.I leave in 3 hrs to go away working for a while and I didn't need this just before I go.The tank looks bare with out him.:(
Hope yours pulls through for ya.
