Swim Bladder...

Seanieke · 2009-11-04 15:22:48

Not sure if I'm in the right area, couldn't find a marine thread.. I've got a Black Moor that I've had for the last 4 years, it's recently gotten swim bladder, 2 questions... 1-should I put it into an isolation tank for treatment? 2-what would have caused it?? Thanks in advance, Seanie

one of ours got that about a year ago - floated on it's side for about six months :eek: but back to normal now, you can try getting the treatment for swim bladder from the pet shop, i'm not sure if you need to oslolate him - think it's a bacterial infection

Boil a pea and put a pin in it and give it to him . It helps clear it up .

black moors are prone to swim bladder problems. they are a man made creation from cross breeding different species, and black moors are known to turn a gold or silvery grey colour as they get older.
