Hi All,
Today I noticed that one of my Honey Gouramies was swimming lethargically at the bottom of my tank. As the day has gone on I have noticed that it cannot swim straight and lops from side to side, sometimes resting on its side. Water parameters seem OK ( 0 Amm, 0 Nitrite, 20ppm Nitrate) and this is the only fish in the community aquarium displaying these symptoms.
The only other visible symptom appears to be a bloated stomach so the symptoms suggest Swim Bladder Disease. From experience, could anybody tell me if there is a cure for this? Please note that I unfortunately do not have a hospital tank as I have no room (I know this is far from ideal). Is there a cure that could be used in a community tank (cherry barbs, Harlequin Rasbora, Guppies, Panda Cories)?
Thanks
Matt Quish
