Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / August 2004possible case of swim bladder disease; what to do?
I've lost 2 of my 6 common goldfish to what I believe is swim bladder disease. The symptom is that the affected fish seem to have a problem swimming at depth; they float to the surface and then swim back down, repeatedly. Are all my fish doomed to die of this disorder? Is there any point in quarantining the latest fish to display the symptom? How did this disease get into an isolated community of fish, anyway? Surely it didn't spontaneously generate?

SBD can be genetic. Just feed less, fast occasionally and try the odd shelled pea from time to time. Also any fishies showing signs will benefit from you soaking their food before adding it. >SBD can be genetic. nrklkj rkjl;la9ti3 hjeiu rjht hpokqm fji rjwo jqw nd8ich ,mrov ,gkfodkfkfk mfg doclh p kgh > >SBD can be genetic. > > nrklkj rkjl;la9ti3 hjeiu rjht hpokqm fji rjwo jqw nd8ich ,mrov ,gkfodkfkfk mfg > doclh p kgh ok that came out wrong, it can be there from birth (abnormal growth) there are multiple causes of "Swim bladder disease" ... most of them have nothing to do with teh swim bladder instead have to do with infection of the intestines or toxic gases causing neurological problems. http://www.mu.edu/~buxtoni/puregold/disease/symptom/symptom.htm#floating%20problems common GF dont usually get floating problems. If you have gravel this could be the cause. as GF root around in gravel that has anaerobic fermentation going on they will suck to get food and instead suck a bubble of hydrogen sulfide or other toxins across their gills and it causes loss of equilibrium. happens too often and it is permanent. what are you feeding? how much at one time? what are your water parameters? nitrates?
