Swim Bladder Disease?

[Fishcrunch]

Since this has recently taken my palmas from me(i'm guessing), I was wondering how common this illness is? And does it affect some species more than others?

Well, he's in the freezer atm, not sure how pics would help.

Sorry bout the loss

 

[Fishcrunch]

Thanks, he was a pretty fish, expensive too.

No problem... How big was he?

I've never experienced it myself with bichirs.

He was 10 inches flat, had him for a year, who knows what his actual age was.

It just shocks me that my polypterus got sick instead of my blood parrots and sunfish! I imagined that primitive fish were much more resilient than modern fish.

Did you have it in a tank with large gravel for a substrate?
