Hwom91 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hello everyone. I have one electric blue acara that only swims In a corkscrew motion. Still eats and still can move up and down in the water column. I dont think it is a swim bladder issue. When it gets tired it lays with a list to the right. Any thoughts? It is in qt with general cure right now. I did test tank conditions and found 0 across the board. All other fish seem to be fine. I will get a video tonight if it will help. Thank you for any help.

Colu Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 What you described could be parastic infection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwom91 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 That's what I was thinking. I did some searching and whirling keeps coming up but the videos I see are not the same motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I would do is treat with paracleanse or general cure and monitor if you don't see any improvement something else could be going such as swim bladder problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwom91 Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Checked when I got home and the fish is swimming up right with a slight list. Seems like general.cure is working. Thank you for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
