 Hi,


I have just introduced another florida flag fish to replace one that I lost.

The exsisting fish is now swimming erraticaly with it's tail hanging down, it's eyes are also bulging out of it's sockets.

All was well before i introduced the new fish, I have read a bit online and as usuall there are conflicting articles!


Most seem to point to stress, which kind of makes sence, but how do I de-stress the fish?



Any ideas would be most apreciated.



Regards, Colin

 Water is fine as usual :?

I've put in some anti internal bacteria treatment, just incase.


He is still moving around and eating, which must be a good thing?

I'll keep them in darkness till Friday and see if it helps.

Thanks, Colin
