Hey, it's nice to see almost any fish that is quite active and swimming all over your tank, responding to your movement, eating their food and also maybe playing around with their sonomics. But what if they don't eat? What if they can't swim? What if it all stopped? That's why I'm here. Hey guys, I'm Sruti Devanathan, I make fish videos and travel vlogs. In the series of episodes, I'm going to talk to you about different fish and their breeds. Throughout the episodes, we will be talking about fresh water fish, the basic necessity, adaption, breeding and etc. And before we get into the video, I need to give a shout out to this guy, Aqualover. He's been trying to reach me a couple of times, but yeah, this time I haven't forgotten you dude. Aqualover, you deserve this shout out. It's all for you. If you're wondering why your fish is swimming in a bad orientation or having a huge slump in the chest, which makes it difficult to swim, it is only because they're suffering from swim ladder disease, not to confuse with dropsy. Now how and why does this happen to your fish? Low water temperature can slow digestive process, this increases pressure in swim ladder. Parasites of bacterial infection can inflame the swim ladder. Also overfading, and last, it might be born with a defect. So here are some steps to be preventive or swim ladder disease. You must have a closer look at all your fish if they're active or not. Make sure circulation of filter is not very harsh. Always keep your water around 80 degrees Fahrenheit or 26 degrees centigrade. If your fish is showing any of these signs and you have no idea or equipment, immediately consults her nearby veterinary. In case your fish is infected, how do you treat them? In most cases, I've noticed a lot of beta fish or goldfish are infected. If you're observing this for the first time, you can go ahead and strip some green pea, soften them up and drop it in boil water for a few minutes. When the pea is warm and softer, wait for it to reach room temperature. Now drop tiny broken pieces into the tank. Your fish should start eating. So this process can be repeated twice a day until it's completely recovered. Thanks for watching. If you liked it, please subscribe.
