Hi All
I have a fish that I suspect has a swim bladder issue. It is a new fish I recently added to my tank and the problem started about a week after bringing it home from the pet shop.
I have done all the usual things to remedy this including checking for nitrites/nitrates and water changes, stopped feeding for a few days then feeding a shelled pea, feeding just green veggies for 1 week and although water parameters are OK I am having no progress.
Someone has suggested I get some medicated fish food containing metronizadole like Jungle medicated fish food but I cannot seem to find it anywhere in the UK. Does anyone here no where I can find it? The only thing I can find is Interpret Swimbladder treatment. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Tank details are as follows:
180 litre Fluval with 2 filters
1 x black moor
1 x red cap
1 x calico ryukin (the sick fish)
1 x common goldfish
1 x leopard plec
1 x white rachu
All fish are very small approx 1 - 2 inches and I will be getting a larger tank soon. I know that it is fully stocked but other than this issue all the fish are healthy and water parameters are checked regularly and all is OK.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
