Dizzy Fish?

[Sharkie]

ever since i got my striped damsel Sarge he swims around in circles ALLLL DAY... there is nothing wrong with the tank and all the levels are okay, he seems fine and eats well... he jsut swims in really tight circles all day long.... it makes me dizzy! LOL.

any clue as to why its doing that? i've never seen a fish swim like he does... its strange..

maybe she is singing. Just keep swimming just keep swimming:bounce:

 

[Sharkie]

LOL i don't think thats it... i dunno if theirs something screwed up with his brain or what but he didnt do that at the store :p

 

[daugherty]

i think he is retarted. i have never seen a fish do that before. did you give him some LSD

 

[ltljoker]

maybe he bumped his head:frustrat: or thinks that he is in a 1 gallon jug and can only swimm in a circle

 

[Sharkie]

haha yea i think hes retarded too... its funny to watch for a bit but then it just makes me dizzy...

did i mention, he swims backwards too... i'll have to get vid of that, every time i feed the fish he goes backwards

 

[daugherty]

what kind of drugs did you give it

 

[Sharkie]

I swear it was just seaweed!


lol no chemicals go into my tank so i have no clue what it could be

 

[Wes888]

lol. that's funny.

 

[ltljoker]

does he have a back up horn to warn the fish when he decides he is going to go backwards. Beep beep beep

 

[Sharkie]

no clue, maybe i should rename him mater... or dizzy.

it jsut worries me because i don't want the lil guy to be in pain (even tho he bites me when i try to shoo him around to actually SWIM) but i really don't know what his problem is

May be "old timers" disease. Can't remember where he's going but gotta get there.

hes probably heard 'You Spin Me Round Like a Record" too much...

my poor fish are subjected to mass amounts of good old skool music xDD

That is funny. You should play that, record it and send it in to America's Funniest Videos. Betcha you could win some money.

heehee... i know its mean, but i couldn't help it

Too funny! :lol: :lol: :lol:
What happens if you place a rock in his space?

That fish is stressed big time. I assume you didn't qt it before you put it in your tank? I would guess some type of fluke or parasite is driving it crazy.

 

[mng777777]

did you check his fins? maybe one is too small like nemo so all he can do is spin!

JK... I think Capt is the only one who has any good advice so far. Does it eat? Soak it's food in garlic. It will boost it's immune system.

I think he's on a magical mystical (and invisible to us humans) merry-go-round.
