i noticed today my bichir is broken! his bottom is floating um it looks like someone either broke his back or he has some swim blatter whatnot

but i dont know which is why im asking 3 things

what is it

how did he get it

and how do i treat it

i dont know why he got it the water peramitters are fine and nothings changed except for his food, i took him off shrimp pellets and put him on hikari sinking carnivorous pelllets

is it really that drastic? if so his back is could be broken can he move his rear fins?
 
its more sutle but when he swims it looks bad i dont think his back is broken cus he waggles his tail yuno how they swim with the tail whiping and what not yeah he can still do that kinda ill get pics if you think its vital
 
well he wasnt doing it this morning then i came back and hes doing it again >.< ill get pics soon
 
hope he's okay =[
can he swim, or is he just floating around?
btw what type is he? and hopefully we can help better when you get pics
 
What exactly are your water parameters? Tank size? Inhabitants in it? How often and how much water is replaced? Feeding schedule? What species is it?
 
what is it. trapped gas

how did he get it.eating what have you been feeding it?

and how do i treat it. you don't it simply needs to fart
 
i dont think his back is broken, i have one and his back is a little bent but he can swim properly and move his tail so i don't worry about it. if he can move his tail then he is fine. anyway if u do feed ur fish dry food let it soak for around 10 minutes that always helps with swim bladder.
