Flowerhorn doing somersaults..

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
if it looks like wildly uncoordinated somersaults and distress, its likely a problem with the swim bladder and/or associated bacterial conditions.

However, if she looks quite normal in terms of digging, feeding and behaviour otherwise; then it's probably just an odd quirk. I've seen more than one example of somersaults in amphs, which are along the same lines...any video?

She eats like a horse, she looks like she is marking her territory..

She is not stressed, showing full colours.

I'll get a video up asap

in that case, does she do it against objects? She could be simulating laying eggs, or again; just simply being a weirdo lol
 
I have a male bonsai that flips when under the filter current. Probably due to his short body.

Can someone explain this? She just swims around doing somersaults, and digging.

Is this normal?
