Hi all,
One of my Red Rainbows is near the bottom, and just swimming in a tight circle. Water parameters are normal, and none of the other 11 Rainbow tankmates are showing signs of being anything but normal.
Suspected constipation, bloat, something, tried shelled peas, no interest.
Any ideas?
Dan

Is it swimming quickly in a tight circle or slowly? Quickly and it might just be performing a behavior related to mating or something like that, slowly and you may have other problems.

There's a lot of things that could cause something like that, so it's not really diagnostic - bloat, swimbladder disease, parasites in the nervous system, etc...
