Need some help...

[SuAsati]

Hi guys,
I got in a pair of female anthias bimaculatus today, thanks btw, the fish are very nice as always, they were both eating and swimming around, but one fish seem to have problem staying horizontal, kinda looks like its tail wants to go to the top. Is there anything I can do to help it out? Tks.

SuAsati,

Congratulations on your new additions to your aquarium! When fish swim and have troubles staying up right that can at times be caused from swim bladder disease. We would recommend feeding a par-boiled pea to the Anthias, which is a one time treatment. This should help the fish recover.

If you could please PM us your order information we would be more than happy to document your file.
