My fish developed swim bladder disease because I lived in a very hot apartment for a few weeks. The ammonia and nitrite levels went up and immediately moved into a cooler apartment. I treated my fish with peas and the swim bladder disease went away.
I treated the water and changed the water. I bought expensive test strips and the water is perfect now. But over the last week or so when I wake up in the morning he is floating around near the bottom and where ever the current takes him. Every once in a while he "wakes up" and moves for a few seconds. By the time I come home from work he's fine and swimming around like nothing happened. I have no idea what's going on.
Any one heard anything about this? Yesterday it took him about 1.5 hours to come out of this sleep state. He twitches around as well like he struggling to wake up.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm continuing to change his water and he eats fine when he comes out of his paralysis. This morning he's still not out of his sleep like state. It worries me. The strange thing is that when he "wakes up", it's almost like nothing ever happened. He's like a normal fish. I've had him for 3 years. He's a really tough fish. I got him from the carnival.
Yesterday he wasn't in the state, but the two days before he was. I just totally at a lose at explaining this.
