Could anyone please help me?
My Sarasa Comet has started to rest all the time at the botom of the fish tank. He used to swim around most of the time.
Then every now and again he springs into life quite violently and bangs into the sides of the tank and also he rubs his sides against the tank floor. It is almost like he goes into a fit. After this he returns to resting on the bottom.
He has also been resting floating with his head facing upwards which is most unusual. I know this my be a swim bladder problem, and today he has rested normally.
I have looked at him for parasites but can't see any.
It really is a worry seeing him react in this way.
I'd be grateful of any advice with this as he seems to be in much distress.
Thank you,
GD
