Sorry I keep bothering you guys with this one fish, but I'm already attatched to her. I thought I might include a full body analysis too see if I missed anything of importance.

Ryukin Goldie(Cheeto)
Body length-3 1/2 inches
Body depth- 3 inches
Body width- up to 2 1/2 inches

Odd physical traits-White tummy, red opercululm (as if gill plate is transparent), swimming sideways, upside-down, and headstanding.

I NEED to go to the petstore and get some anti-bacterial food, but I just got my wisdom teeth removed and my face looks like an Oranda with an overgrown wen. (FREAKY!) I am going tonight though. What else should I pick up?

What confuses me most with this fish is that unlike most fish with Swim bladder issues, she doesn't sink or float. She is just constantly losing her balance. And although she does, it isn't taking much effort to flip back over. She is eating normally and I did a slime coat swab under a microscope and found absolutly nothing. Uggggghh. :wall:

Again, sorry I keep bothering you guys about this one fish. I am just starting to wonder if I should just leave her be since she doesn't appear to be getting worse. Are swim bladder issues ever congenital?:confused:

BTW, no more bubbly poop and she is defacating (to be all fancy!) normally.
 
I am at my wits end with this one....:huh:
