My black moore recently died. He could no longer swim, and he laid on the bottom of the container I had relocated him to, on his back, for a few days before he finally perished. I refreshed the water each day, because I wanted him to have oxygenated water. His swim bladder disease had progressively gotten worse over the past 6 months or so, as he was always sucking air from the surface of the water. I have a Fluval canister filter and an airstone in the tank, so all I could think is that it was just a bad habit of his. His tankmate doesn't suck at the air, and doesn't have swim bladder disease. And once or twice a week, I gave them peas, and I tried to fast them every so often, hoping to clean out his system.
Anyway, I was at the pet store today, and they had a tank of beautiful telescope eyes. Some of those fish were floating upside down. It makes me wonder if telescope eyes are prone to swim bladder diesease. Any opinions?
