Hi all,
One of my pearl danios has developed a strange behavior over the past couple of days -- he has been spending a lot of time hanging around on one side of the tank, swimming in place. That by itself is odd, but he's swimming a little crooked -- not much, but about 5-10 degrees "off." He's not swaying from side to side, he always leans the same amount and always to the same side. It's somewhat subtle, but I think I would have noticed it before if he'd always been this way. He has a good appetite and has no trouble swimming to different areas of the tank when he wants to (chasing or eating).
I just got finished treating what appeared to be a bout of IP in the tank with garlic + metro. Perhaps I misdiagnosed the problem. Any ideas?
Edit -- the "crookedness" is side-to-side -- i.e., the fish is leaning a little to his right.
