One of my piranha just out of nowhere started spazzing out, would float around, lay upside down but is still breathing. What do I do??!!
Could be an injury. Was the fish attacked by the other piranhas? Separate into a qt tank. Lower the water level so it can stay on its belly and stay upright. Have to leave like this for a while and hope it corrects itself.One of my piranha just out of nowhere started spazzing out, would float around, lay upside down but is still breathing.

No there was no attacking going on. We turned the lights off in the tank so he’s not stressed out. I can’t get a qt tank right now but he’s on his sideCould be an injury.

Thanks guys I appreciate it. Its a tough pill to swallow when you see how Mother Nature can be sometimes.Sorry for your loss. Tough thing to do.
Fish hierarchies work in weird ways, and our fish tanks, no matter how large, are not large enough to give a second chance to a low totem pole individual.

Would you have done the same by taking him out of the tank before they finished him off?
