flossy Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Hello, one of my sturbai corydoras is having trouble swimming. It is swimming upside down but not floating at the top. Should I transport it to another tank and how should i deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovius Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Sounds like a swim bladder issue. I'd set up a hospital tank ASAP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JE47 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Pictures of the fish in question would be helpful as well as the tank's current parameters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Pictures + parameters will help in identifying this disease. But swim bladder is most likely the situation. Ammonia/nitrite/nitrate etc. On 6/1/2024 at 11:10 PM, Jovius said: Sounds like a swim bladder issue. I'd set up a hospital tank ASAP. Agreed.

Should I be worried? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 How old is your corie? Could be aging. Old age. But if not just have the other tank on hand and see if he improves or gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do currently have a quarantine tank ready in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Then just monitor. If worse, QT tank. @flossy On 6/2/2024 at 9:00 PM, flossy said: He is fairly young as I recently got him from the fish store.
