Help!!

[bigbrad73]

One of my new monos is swimming with nose pointing down and tail up like it's floating. He has a really packed belly. What could be going on. I have had him about a week and they have been eating very well.

could be super full....or it has a swim bladder issue.

Any better today? Could be that he ate way too much. Maybe feed smaller amounts more frequently.

if its after he ate it sounds like he is just really full. Mine will do that if i feed alot and after about 5 min they grind their throat like they are grinding the food then they swim normal.

I'd add salt just incase it's swim bladder and feed less food more often

Depending on IF he was just feed A LOT and how severe of an angle he's swimming on it sounds like a swim bladder issue to me if he wasn't just fed a ton. My Pbass will stop eating when he's full and has never done anything like this. So was this guy feed a lot right before this issue or what?
