Hi sounds terrible[Sad],but really need more info - like size off tank filters,water paremeters,how old,was it sudden?

I would say unlikely to be the swimbladder,so i would guess it was something they had eaten causing a blockage?

Latest update 29/4/10 well only got four fish now - 2 syds and 2 B/Ns. All fish are equal.

i have a 4 foot tank with twin marine filters on it, they have not been cleaned for alittle while but I find as soon as i clean or change them the tank fails on me...only thing different i have done is start giving them frozen blood worms again, so the comment above about a possible blockage could be the cause as they like to gorge themselves....will keep an eye on things but everyone else in the tank is going swimmingly...no pun intended!Tounge
