Hi all, I've posted this question when I was doing the member introduction. I thought the problem had passed 2 days after that, but now it's back again.
My little calico oranda seems to have this problem where he floats for a good 8 hours after feeding. He seems to be okay the next morning and then when I feed him again, the whole vicious cycle starts again. He tries to get to the middle of the tank, and then floats up (arse first) and stays the correct-way-up at the top of the tank.
Here's some info on the tank.
140litres with a gold fantail (6yrs old), a calico oranda (recent) and red cap fantail (recent). I also have 2 white clouds and a black widow in there from my old tank and they are really little.
Water parameters are ph 7.4, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate < 5ppm.
Normal feeding Monday - Friday, fasting on Saturday and peas on Sunday.
I've tried giving the fish the NLS sinking pallets today and still no difference. Just wondering what else I can do to help the little fella? Any advice would be much appreciated.
