Ok.. everything is going on now. I got a new filter for the tank, and then I noticed that I had white cloud fry.

Right now in the 10 gallon tank, there is 5 WCMM's, 2 corys, and 2 YoYo loaches (which WILL be moved when we get rid of the ID sharks)

We put some pantyhose (sp?) over the filter, because it was bashing the fry around. I look at the tank, and one of my corys were laying on it's side floating in the water. I took the pantyhose off, lowered the water lever (so the filter would create more surface adigitation, and added an airstone (i just put it in the filter)

The fish have seemed to calmed down (not moving their mouths as much) but the cory seems to go up the side of the tank (he is verticle with the tank) go 3/4 of the way up, and then swim back down. I havent seem him quit moving, and when he does quit moving, he seems to float up like i said. He is acting normal though (looking for food at the bottom of the tank)

Is this swim bladder? Im thinking about moving the YoYo loaches, and the corys over the 55 gallon, if the one does have swim bladder, will it effect any fish in the 55 gallon?


I really hope i took care of the situation good enough to prevent all of the fish from dieing

well on one site it says it can be caused by bacteria. Maybe it got it from the panty hose. If i were you, u should have bought a sponge from a sponge filter, and put that over the filter suction.

...he seems to float up like i said"...

I missed that when you asked.

It is related to a bladder problem but not necessarily swim bladder disease.

Keep watch. He may not survive.

thanks gary, but i acually thing he was eating something like fry on the glass or something.

Because i saw them both motonless on the gravel just ditting there, so I know he doesnt have a problem staying down.
