Sick rope, help.

[dragonfish]

My ropefish has been doing fine all along. Today he acts like he is filled with air and has trouble submerging. Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe he has Bloat?

I thought oddball was a pretty cool and knowledgeable guy. Referring to him as diarrhea is a bit d-baggery don't you think?

No visible bloating. Just seems to float. Has trouble trying to stay down.

My buddy had the same problem and it ended up being that the food hadn't absorbed enough water before they ate it, causing it to expand in its stomach and bloat it
