My fish is acting weird...

[RLGirlPolo]

Would that have something to do with ick or the hyposalinity??

Obvious guess would be swimbladder if it were FW fish.. but that isn't supposed to happen with saltwater. I really don't have a clue.

Can SW fish have gas/indigestion problems like goldfish? I had a Fancy goldfish years ago that did the same thing and found that It was due to feeding flake and the fish would gulp at the food foating on the surface and would swallow air along with the flake food. The cure was to shell a green pea and feed the fish the pea. Kinda works like a Tums. heh Within a few hours, it was back upright.

Don't be alarmed by their quirky behavior. It is quite normal for them to hang upside down in a cave or under an overhang. They can also hover at an angle with their head down. Darting in and out of the rockwork, they can be secretive, hiding among the rocks and coral. Holding their own with most small fish, they will threaten them by opening their large mouths

I've seen her (I just assume it's a she...the whole pink/purple and yellow color) do all that before but I've never seen her stay upside down this long...it's almost like she does realize shes upside down...

 

[clown-lover]

maybe she wants to break from the mold? Honestly I have no clue..

 

[blinxxpunk182]

now is it swimming upside down on the top of the water?

 

[RLGirlPolo]

yep...upside down at the top of the tank...

well..... the two clownfish i have as my avatar love to do it every now and then. they actually both go up at the same time and just gallop upside down. they do it under the stream from the filter lol. if yours has ich it may be another disease, but if its gone and they dont do it constantly then id either ask your lfs, more people, or just let them do as they do. thats what ive done and they do no harm its scary to watch but at the same time its kind of funny. they dont do it for long periods of time though. probably about 3 minutes and then they go back to normal
