So I got home and I moved him up to a 20L added the jungle fungus med that was suggested and a bubble strip. He seems disoriented, but still strong, he kicked a lot and strongly in the net. I am a little concerned, because now he is gasping largely in the new tank. I would compare it to coughing.
TSN can't stay right side up, need help.

coughing... interesting ...Mystus Redtail;2235375; said:
it could be just the stress of being moved... it's gone from a large tank to a small one there is obviously going to be good aeration in the tank since you have the bubble strip in there with him...
perhaps he's Claustrophobic...
Still alive this morning, still laying on his side, breathing slowly. Not much I can do now that I'm at work.
Alive is good... it's better that he's on his side than his back... Mine after the beating seemed fine for a few days after then was doing the flipping over on his back for around 4 or 5 days before staying on his side for almost 2 weeks before going back to "normal" his fins are still healing and he just started eating normally again ... Hope yours is following a similar path to recovery

I see, certainly worth a shot, since I don't really know what caused this.
Update, he's still hanging in there, he was thrashing around a bit last night. I added some coppersafe, since he has some red sores on his face. On a positive note he was upright this morning.

Cograts. Seems like a big improvement. I have been watching the thread and cheering on your cat. Sorry but i could not offer any suggestion because i am familiar with your type of kittie.
I recently had a problem with Tigrinus not eating, not swiming upside down though, I have a feeling mine had an internal parisite, and I would guess thats your problem as well.
