I was given a bunch of fish by a friend, all in planted tank(mostly ferns) with co2 injection as he decided to go with different type of fish.
from his place to my place, 40min journey, carried in A3 sized bag full of water with an air pump, portable.
reached the destination successfully, no casualty.
after reaching home and when I moved all the fish from pail to a quarantine tank, noticed Ram is swimming oddly on its side.
So I moved all other fish to another tank and left this ram alone in 10-12 cm water, drained all the water assuming its swim bladder/ constipation issue, Temperature is around 29-30 deg C. air stone running 24hrs.
3 days no food, daily change water 80-90%. this morning only I saw it back to normal for a while but when it saw me and tried to swim away, again same belly up and struggling to swim normally.
fish look healthy eyes, gills, body, fins.., no signs of physical damage at all..
how long this might take to cure? my discus recovered in two days when we overfed the tank some time back.
