Posted	Nose Down ?!?!?
08-04-2006 19:12 by Tan	Hello I've noticed recently that my goldfish tends to float nose down. Not sure why. He swims fine but recently he's nose down quite a lot. What could this be? Thanks Tanya
08-04-2006 19:16 by anna	what type of gold fish is it tanya?
08-04-2006 19:23 by anna	if its a fantail/ oranda/ moor etc andur feedin flake i would try a sinkin pellet food as it may be takin air in when its feedin givin him swimbladder symptoms. or it could be swimbladder which cud be caused by an internal bacterial infection or it might hav knocked itsself and twisted his bladder giving him the problem!!!
08-04-2006 19:24 by cindy	My gold fish is nose up and upside down. he is having a swim bladder issue. I have been told to try frozen food like frozed brine shrimp or blood worms. Maybe yours is a similar problem
08-04-2006 19:28 by yanton	yes, swim bladded problem - which often get progressively worse - now is the time to research the cure before it gets too bad.
08-04-2006 19:34 by Big Rob	we sell oranda/ryunkin/moors and they always seem to be nose down mebbe its their shape
08-04-2006 19:38 by Tan	It's a faintail Anna.
08-04-2006 19:47 by anna	try a sinkin pellet first as thats the simpliest thing n maybe give it a salt bath jus incase it is swimbladder
08-04-2006 20:03 by Lexter	Listen to Anna, she a rising star on the forum, young and up and coming, she knows here stuff
08-04-2006 20:44 by Tan	Thanks Anna now for the stupid questions.... I take it I can get a sinkin pellet from most petshops? A salt bath??? That's confused me - give the fish a salt bath? The fish shares the tank with a Black Moor. Thanks Tanya
10-04-2006 11:26 by anna	hey tan no such thing as a stupid question when it concerns fish hunny!!!! u shud b able to get a sinkin pellet from most petshops the best one i find is tetra japan gold but the nishikoi sinking pellets aint bad either!! to give ur fish a salt bath u need to drain some of ur tank water into ur bucket, u need to add 1 teaspoon of salt per litre of water pop the fish in and leave him in there for no longer than fifteen minutes and put him back in2 ur tank!! let me kno how u get on
11-04-2006 17:13 by Ja	salt bath seems to be a good cure for a lot of things, what are the risks with it? how often should you dose them?
