Help silver dollar

[Arnold789]

My silver dollar (about 2 months old) started swimming at about 45 degees nose down.... He doesnt look sick ... hes active ... Only the one ... what should i do

Could be a touch of swim bladder problems.... try raising the temp by about 2 degrees(to max 29) - that some times helps the fish recover... Sometimes they swallow a bit of air that causes problems with bouyancy - this usualy passes in a short time - G'luck!!

If it is a constipation issue - feed them some Daphnia for a day or two as well - has a laxative effect... What do you feed by the way?

[Arnold789]

lettuce every second day and Flakes

Nope - no probs with that....Baby marrow and shelled peas are also relished by Dollars btw...
