Sorry to hear this. I do hope he gets better.

Well, I'm about to do the water change, but, good news....at least it looks like it.

Albert is looking better

He is not as red or swollen at his vent. He is still breathing sort of rought and fast, and he still seems to be having balance issues, but he's not upside down

I'm going to go do the water change and just keep him stress free. I'm not adding anything med wise yet, and I'm not removing him. I'm hoping it was just a "tummyache" and he's working through it.

Thanks again and I'll kee ya posted

That would be great news..I hope he is still doing ok and getting better!!

Thanks everyone

He seemed a bit better again this morning. He hasn't eaten that I've seen (but a couple days isn't gonna hurt), but he doesn't seem to be having as much trouble staying upright and on the bottom. Last night the panting totally went away, but he's breathing a little fast this morning.

I'm going to continue with daily water changes and see if that solves it. If something was introduced to the tank, I would assume he would not be the only one affected, but he is the oldest, and could be a bit more sensative because of that I guess

In otherwords, still no clue what's happening.......

Get Well Soon Buddy.

So far so good.

Maybe it was just a swim bladder malfunction after all. Let's hope so!

Well, maybe it was all the good thoughts and prayers....or it could have been the water changes

But Albert is back to normal

He actually joined in the dance for breakfast. First time since this started, so I was VERY VERY HAPPY this morning

Thanks to everyone here for the help
