Hi all,
I need some advice on my rosey barb.
I have a male rosey barb thats around 2-3 years old. In the last month ive noticed hes become quite bloated (not massively so), hes struggling to balance properly in the water and swim, and has changed his behaviour; (he used to swim around the tank a lot faster, darting about playfully, now hes just hovering in one spot for a while and slowly moving on.) His scales are fine, no change in colour, damage or pineconing.
I have had a rosey barbs for a few years now, and I have experienced one with swim bladder, and treated them for it.
Although the symptoms are very similar to swim bladder (bloated, cant swim properly) Im not quite sure it is, hence i need some advice before acting.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
