Help Asap, Fish Dying!

fizzgigger · 11-13-2003, 12:48 AM

i've had a marron clownfish for 3 years now and i noticed tonight i was feeding him and he was fine then all the sudden he was on his side eating and staying that way. he trys to swim but he kinda stays on his side at the top. Its' mainly to one side he stays. Do you think he has swim bladder or what? All my test kits are not here so ijsut filled the water up and then turned out the light so he won't be so stressed. Can anyone help? sorry for the spelling, i'm really worried, he's my first ever fish and my baby.

If you were feeding it at the time of this odd behavior, was the fish choking?

I dont' belive so, cause he was still eating. He's still swimming a little funny this morning. I think I'm gonna do a water change and change the filter pad. It looks like some kind of bladder problem I've seen on freshwater fish, but i've never seen it on saltwater.
