Aquarium Advice Apprentice
A friend of mine is having a problem and I don't have a clue, here is a copy of his e-mail to me any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
"I recently had a blackmoore that continually floated to the top of the tank and could not swim properly (his fan tail never fully opened on one side). Anyway, I read suggestions that this problem was swim bladder and tried the peas etc. Anyway, my poor blackmoore stayed like this for 3 months regardless of the peas and died after a water change (he ended up becoming stiff while still alive and stayed at the bottom of the tank for 2 days). Now my lionhead is having buoyancy problems after the death of the blackmoore. I have tried peas etc and they are making no impact. Other fish in the tank are perfectly fine. An other friend suggested that the blackmoore must have always had a fungus (for 3 months) and has transferred this onto the lionhead. Would that be correct? "
Thanks in advance.
