hoges Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 When and if he swims back to the bottom again (or lower in the tank) does he expell air bubbles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 My big red devil goes wherever he wants but never floats any where. That sounds a bit odd. Does he struggle to get to the bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoges Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 also when he floats, does he float side ways i.e. with one eye facing the ground and one the lid of the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishie4me Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 heyz hoges, the devil is not eyes up and down its just up there, has no problems going down, its just that he seems to like staying on the top. his eyes are like normal fish eyes ( i mean the position) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoges Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 hmmm i'd say that everythings okay and not to worry though, you may like to check that your tank is appropriately oxygenated!!! If your fish is constantly near the top it could mean that the rest of the tank isn't recieving enough oxygen. This is my only real suggestion though!!! do you have bubbles in your tank?
