Wrasse cannot swim straight, only in circles!?

[ezcompany]

A flasher wrasse of some sort, she swims like she doesn't have any pectoral fins! her fins are still there of course, and shes running into the wall, the glass, the rocks and corals. i know the true percula chases her around, but only when the wrasse gets near the toadstool, and never for more than a second.

what is going on??? what kind of disease makes the fish unable to swim?

doo a google search for swim bladder infections.

i dont know but i would imagine you would trat with an anti biotic.

Sounds like a reaction to a toxin in the water. First move is a LARGE water change using well aged and aerated saltwater.
You could add some carbon and/or Poly Filter to remove impurities also. Ever copper that tank?
