Aquarium Advice FINatic
Earlier this evening I looked over at my tank and saw one of my adult yoyo loaches dart up to the surface, appeared to smack into the glass, and then collapse on the bottom on his side. He was gasping quite hard, but no other signs of illness - no spots, big eyes, bloated belly, ratty fins or anything unusual at all. Since then I have seen him flopped over on his side among the plants, and when he does swim, he is upsidedown or sideways and quite wobbly. At one point I saw him dart about again and I heard him smack the underside of the canopy.
Tank has been running for 5+ years, no new fish added in almost a year, this fish is 2-3 years old I figure. I did a pwc a week ago, and parameters are 0-0-20. Nothing else weird going on.
Right now he is nose-down in the gravel with his body flopped over to one side. He's no longer gasping and looks normal except for the way he is acting. I put in a dose of melafix/pimafix just because I have it on hand and it is too late to pick up something else.
Something is definitely very wrong with this fish and I am quite concerned.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
