Gigi Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I dont know what is happening. Maybe one of you guys know what is going on? I have a notobranchius rachovi beira. He was doing fine yesterday, but today i noticed he was swimming differently. He could not swim straight and would always wank from one side to another. He can still go up and down but sometimes its like he blocks and sinks and is going upside down. Then he would swim again like nothing is happening. He does not want to eat and is not shasing his ladies anymore. Wich he loved to do. I tested my water and is is completely fine. All my other fish are acting normal as well. Now i know these fish dont live for long but i bought him in december so he should not be this old? He is not constipated as i saw him doing his business. For the rest i cant figure out what it can be or it is indeed old age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find him anywhere so my guess is my shrimp and snails took care of him. Still wondering though. It only took a span of a couple of hours. I really am wondering what he had.

Socqua Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I'm so sorry 😞 . I would keep hunting around for him, I'd be surprised if your shrimp and snails would completely devour him that quickly; he's not a tiny fish. If you find him you can inspect him a bit more to see if you notice any worms or anything. Sorry I can't be of any help. If you still can't find him I'd recommend you keep an eye on your ammonia in case you have a spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
