Hi.

My Sengal Bichir is floating.
Its hard for him to get on the ground.
He takes the Plants to stay on the bottom.

Possible bloat?
 
yea sounds like hes having swim bladder issues
 
My juvy sen bichir (3-3 1/2 inches)ate a large neon tetra. He looked pregnant. He floated for nearly 2 days and struggled to swim to the bottom.

After he had digested most of it he returned to normal. He didn't eat another neon tetra for at least another 3 days!:ROFL:

Hopefully this is the case with yours as well.
