	Guppie swimming in circles
smileyriley13 Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 13 Votes: 0 Registered: 02-Jun-2004	One of my guppies strangly keeps swimming to the bottom and when swimming up comes up doing circles. Is this normal or is she unwell?

In my open she's just being goofy. But, I've never had a guppy do this...check your water parameters also, something could be up there...Heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle

But I have seen my mother's goldfish do it, and it ended up that the fish had a "swim bladder" problem. She threw in some chunks of zuchini, the fishies chowed down on it... and the fish quit doing it. I hope this can help you too...

If neither the zuchinni or peas help get ahold of Cory_Di she has some other ideas that help with swim bladder. So Jamie, your mom has goldies? I can just imagine goldies swimming in circles:%) Heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle
