Sorry this is in the wrong forum, should be under unhealthy fish, but I needed a response really quickly.
My oldest fish, a 4 year old Black Neon Tetra has been swimming awkwardly for the past few days. He seems to be constanly swimming upwards at about a 70-80 degree angle and if he stops he sinks. A few days ago I noticed what seemed to be a "hole" in the side of him, but that healed up really quickly.
I've done a partial water change just in case and none of the other fish are showing signs of disease or ill-health. Anyone got any ideas for me? Local shop have suggested it may be a bacterial infection, this likely?
Thanks
