HELP WITH TSN PLEASE!!!!

[Hayabusa]

Just found this, its about Betas, but I'm sure the same would apply...


Injury - Sometimes bettas who have recently been through a traumatic experience (being dropped on the floor, being in a physical fight with another betta, etc) may display Swim Bladder Disorder symptoms. In these cases, many times there is permanent damage to the swim bladder. Unfortunately this means that there is no real cure for the disorder if it is caused by injury, but you can manage the illness. Often bettas permanent swim bladder problems can live normal, healthy lives if accomodations are made - such as keeping the water level lower than normal to allow for easier access to air, or providing large-leaved plants near the water surface to make a "lounging" spot where launching off for air is more doable for the betta. Swim bladder problems are not painful and are generally not fatal in the case of injury, so these guys have a wonderful prognosis in general.

Cool thanks mate, ive done all that this suggests also lol ironic init, if it is a swim bladder prob, which i think is more than likely i guess he will have to have his own home for aslong as he lives.

Remember that his fin is hurt as well.. how has that been doing? If that is still injured, I would suspect that when it heals he will regain somewhat more mobility.. maybe he will be on one side, but he'll be cool... have you tried him with any feeders recently? Just wondering, as from what you said when you caught him.. he seems to have strength left in him, wondering if this will give him something to concentrate on..

His fin seems to be healing nicely mate, no i havnt tried feeders yet as i never really thought about it untill you mentioned it mate so its worth a try.

I gave him a salt bath about an hour ago so we will beable to tell in a couple of days its the bladder problem or the fin thats causing him to loose balance

I will get some feeders also and see if that helps, Thanks moos m8

Hey m8, what are his eyes like? just read a thread about a guy who had a tiger shovelnose who was blind in one eye from a fight and he would do exactly the same as yours, apparantly they use both of their eyes to know whats level kind of thing.

Just an idea.

Col, any updates on the lil' fella?

His eyes look fine matey, they are both moving like they should be and both look the same.

Col, any updates on the lil' fella?

Hes a bit disorientated off the salt bath matey, even though he was allready a bit wobly lol, ive just put 20 little feeders in there with him like you said mate so hopefully he will get pekish through the night and stuff himself up .

Guys Thanks for all this support, its amazing knowing i have people to give me new ideas and possabilities as to what is wrong with him.

Its very gratefully apreciated

Guys going to upload another vid for you to watch, tell me what ya think and see, this is the way he swims now.

He was doing this before the salt bath aswell, fresh expert minds would be helpfull also, no disrespect to moos and hyabusa who have been a great help throughout this

 

[bigcol]

Ok guys here it is, as you can see he really doesnt know where or when he wants to be, this sort of behaviour reminds me of death to come
