zebra danio laying on side

[1 LARA]

I have a Zebra Danio that swims then drops to bottom of tank and sits on sid. The fish looks like a full belly. Sometimes it drifts around the tank not swimming. I looked at other sites about putting it down. I am looking for a remedy not death.

Sounds like swim bladder. Use Epsom salt, (one tablespoon per every 5 gallons) and feed blanched, boiled, chopped up peas.

Is the fish suffering

I have heard that with swim bladder issues the fish feels merely disoriented. Kinda like when a human is dizzy. I'm not sure if that's true, but it may give you some comfort to know that.

Not really, as betta said, he's merely just disoriented.

Okay, I was right. I had only heard it once. Thanks, Homedog.

Frozen or fresh would both work.

I got a 2 way breeder for sick danio and put chopped snap peas in it.
Also I cant seem to get the list of my aquarium at the bottom of posts. I did the user cp and typed in the box designated for your fish list.
