Sick Clown?

[Kerbins]

One of my clowns is acting really funny this evening, 2 hours ago he seemed to be swimming around just fine. I left to do some grocery shopping and came back and he was swimming at the surface vertical.

Here is a quick vid of him

Now just after posting this I hear some splashing. look over and my clown is just freaking out. spinning around backwords at the surface and suddenly went completely stiff and fell to the bottom... he's still breathing but very heavily...

Well the clown died yesterday. Upon inspection discover a dead but otherwise should be healthy clown.

Only conclusion can come to is that he banged his head a lil too hard on the glass when spooked and broke something.

Looks like a damaged swim bladder. Nothing could have been done by the looks of it you can take comfort in that. Sorry I replied "late".

Just so I don't start another thread with my loaches... lol

Been watching this guy and am a bit worried... Not sure who/what is marking him up but he's pretty beat up

He's in the tank with six other clowns and two 2-3" Datnoids who he is much larger than. Never see the datnoids going after any clowns... normally they're swimming away from the clowns who tend to want to play with everything.

Just seems odd how spotty it is.. can see the holes in the fins and just circles..
