My sister has a Fluval Chi with a Male lyretail guppy,
Male.red guppy, a Male turqoise guppy and a ADF. The turqoise guppy (Jimmy Junior, named after her husband.) acted up a few days ago with what I diagnosed over the phone as swim bladder. She fed him peas for a week and he never recovered. I also had her add aquarium salt to them water. He is swimming vertical , swimsuit in circles up side down, and cant swim in a straight line. Now we discovered why he cant swim right, his 'tail' (for lack of a better word) can't move which makes is terribly hard for poor JJ to swim. Anything ideas one what is wrong with him? My sister will do just about anything for him. Its terribly funny to get a pediatric nurse calling you everyone five seconds saying ' He's doing it again, what should I do?!?!'. I am going over to her house tomorrow and I will checks them perimeters then.
