My blood parrot is acting... well retarded. none of the other fish are bullying him but he's trying to bully all of the other fish by chasing them even my other fish thats way bigger then him. all of my other fish are fine but my BP is like swimming on his side and running into walls and decorations.. sorry this is so long but thats the problem, he's dominant and swimming on his side and running into walls/decorations.
 
might want to post this in the hybrids sections, but if hes swimming on his side its probably a swim bladder issue, what size is your tank, what other fish do you have in there and what are your water parameters
 
Sounds like he has rabies! Is he foaming at the mouth? :D
 
It's common for BP to do chase tankmates around, some say the are a hybrid with red devils.

yes thats true about the chasing tankmates and bullying being normal but his fish is swimming on its side and running into things so something is definitely wrong with it

Yes, possibly swim bladder? but he would probably have more reaponses in the diseases/health issues section.
 
the first problem is it's a blood parrot but i guess it can't help that

the second problem is probably a parasite or poor water condition.

have you checked the water? what's your water change routine been like lately?
