HELP!!!!!!!

[Chad55]

My LMB has been acting very odd today. He is very light where as he usually has alot of dark markings on him and he is swimming with his butt in the air and he seems pretty slugish. Not like just sitting in one spot or anything but not moving as much as usual.....

This is how he usually looks....

And today....

My bass always loses his color when he is stressed or there is a problem. Did you test your water?

 

[rottbo]

was there a drastic temp change?? (10 degrees is drastic to a fish)

 

[Chad55]

No temp change....I did do a water change yesterday but it was a really slow one and temp was right on. I don't have a test kit on hand but it can't be bad. I have a fluval 304 and an penguin 330 on a 55 plus I just did a 30% waterchange yesterday. Plus he is swimming with his butt in the air.

what is the temp btw?

Temp. is usually between 65-68 absolutley not higher than 70. He is looking a little better this morning....is it possible that he was just constipated or something?

is it bad to have it over 70???? my temp is like 72 for my lmb

I keep mine above that, usually in the high 70s, although I've raised it to 85 for nearly a month after treating the tank for Ich (damn white bass get it EVERY time I introduce one).

Well looks like it was just gas! Thank god!!!! Thanks for the help guys.
