Why does my fish keep floating to the top of her tank
She doesn't appear to be sick or dying, she just keeps floating to the top of her bowl! Is there something wrong with my fish or the water?
Answers:This is refferred to as swim bladder disease. 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 and/or bacteria. First, do a 30% water change, taking care not to stress the fish by having the water temp as near to the tank as possible. After your water change you should not feed your fish any food for a day. On the second 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
not enough oxygen in the water will cause that.
she's hungry!
She's just going up to get air.
She's trying to commit suicide.
Sounds like she is sick. Something wrong with her ability to control her buoyancy. What kind of fish is it?
Because the fries are nearly read
its about to die or is severly injured internally
The water needs to be aerated.
She's comming up for air.
Building up enough speed to make a ramp jump into your cup of water
Is the fish gulping? Fish rise to the surface and gulp if there is not enough oxygen in the water. You got a little bubble pump thingy in the tank, right?
Sounds like you will have a dead fish soon.Fish just don't float to the top if their healthy
she's probably lonely..why don't you stick a Betta in there.
Change the water, probably not enough oxygen in the water.
She is taking a breather.
Good luck..read up on fish and get a bigger tank with filters and a pump for oxygen.
try putting a airhose with an airstone attached in there. the hose attached to an air pump.
i think she'd getting ready to die or it's sleeping
If she appears otherwise healthy and doesn't seem to have swimming problems, it may be normal. Bettas are obligate air breathers, which means that they breathe from the surface. Just to make sure, you should browse this site: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/fwsubwebindex. Also look at their section on water quality to make sure that you've met her needs.
It's the water, and you fish will dye soon if you don't do something fast. It sounds like there is no oxygen in the water. You need a pump to supply the water with oxygen. You fish will love the difference in it home.
I guess it's playin' possum
quit poking it
What kind of fish is it? How big is her tank? How often do you change the water, and when you do how much of it do you change? Is there an air stone or some kind of filter on the tank?
