HELP! My Delhezi is dying!

[TheSwampFox]

Hes about 2 months old and is floating upside down but still alive. Tanks parameters are normal and other fish are fine. Only thing new is a few cabomba plants added yesterday. any ideas or suggestions?

CHeck his mouth and see if he choked on any kind of food. This is how I lost a small delhezi, they bite on more than they can chew. Other than that, I'd need more details.

Hes floating upside down, or is he swimming upside down? I had a ornate that would swim upside down when i first got him.

Hes swimming a bit now. LFS says its most likely bloat. He may have gotten ahold of a pellet meant for my senegal and black lancer. He wasnt choking i checked his mouth. Going to store to get stuff to treat bloat. Wish me luck.

Hes gone... I came back and he was at the bottom and wont move...

Sad!

Did you perform an autopsy to see what had happened? Most of my dead fish will normally get cut up and used to feed the others, kinda makes the lost fish one with the tank, IMO...
