Tabithol Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Hi. Just got some corydoras from a big box pet store close to me. One of them does fine until he stops swimming. Then he slowly floats to the surface. Then he’ll swim back down again. As soon as he stops swimming, he starts floating. The other ones are doing well. Any ideas? Temp 78, ph 7, 0 ammonia or nitrites, nitrates 20-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJs Aquatics Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 First thought that came to mind is swim bladder disorder of some sort, were they quarantined or treated for anything? What are you feeding them? Do they otherwise look healthy/ act healthy as in no visible/ physical signs of anything wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabithol Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Literally just brought them home. This one started doing this when I was floating them. Before I’d even added any water from my tank. I guess you could say he seems okay otherwise. He doesn’t have any spots or redness on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
