Swimming Upside Down

[reice05]

Alright this is kinda weird i was at the LFS and was looking at this Coral Beauty and it was swimming upside down the whole time swimming around and through the rocks with no problem. It looked healthy but was kinda odd that it was swimming around upside down like that. I was there for maybe 45 mins and the whole time it was like that.

It probably has a swim bladder infection/problem. I've only ever seen it that bad in goldfish though

I'm surprised the store clerk didn't say it was just from Australia. Definitely not a good sign.

That is a huge red flag, do not buy it.

:lol:

I'd have to agree with the others. Definitely not a healthy fish.

i see that with royal grammas at my lfs when they first get them, but never asked why, i will today

Had a goldfish that lived like that for several months, eventually he dies off. I read about the swim bladder issue and did a few things to help him but they were never successful.

I would stay away from any fish that does not look 100% perfect in a LFS.

It's not unusual to see Gammas swimming at unusual angles, but an angel?
