My Black Moore is swimming downward, in the same spot, like while shes stationary is this normal2007-11-24 23:38:14

Like I've said she swims with her head facing the gravel, in the middle of the orb, just still, not really moving, not even floating up.

She's only a baby, and she's only started doin this recently. What can I do? She shares a Big Bio Orb with two other black moores, an older moore and one of the same age, they all get along most of the times (simon is playful occasionally) I feed them cucumber (which they LOVE.), and aquarian flakes, and floating pellets. (Altho I get them wet b4.) Plz, if n e 1 knows anything, I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks for your time. x

Swimbladder is a disease which symptoms cause fish to become unable to swim correctly, your fish may exibit swimming toward the bottom of your tank or bowl, then floating back up, swimming in circles or laying or floating on his side..

There are three main things according to the posts and articles I've read that can lead to swimbladder disease.

Constipation due to overfeeding

Bad water quality

Bacteria

I recommend the following regimine, recommened to me over two years ago.

First, do a water change of about 30% of the water. After your water change you should not feed your fish any food for two days. On the third day feed your fish a fresh pea. Frozen peas thawed, popped out of the skin, and cut into bite size pieces. And then do another water change so that any uneaten peas do not contaminate your water.

If you don't use aquarium salt this is a good addition to most tanks. The recommended dose is one teaspoon per gallon, or one tablespoon per five gallons. If you have never added salt and you are unsure; you may want to first acclimate him at only 1/2 tsp per gallon.
