i got 9 zebras in my well planted tank, i fed them regularly.
but then i noticed, one of them is sick!
usually the other healthy fish would show and move their tails and fins, but this one didnt, he folded his pectoral fins to the side of its body and fold his tailfins like when you're done using scissors (you get the picture right?).
tho it can still swim around in its regular speed, but when it stops, his head kinda floats to surface while his lower body parts move down and sometimes losing balance...
could this be swim bladder disease? or is it some other disease? it swims and eat like usual... what can i do to help the poor creature?
pls help thanks!

Is it possible that it's a female and ready to lay eggs?

what's your tank length and what are all the fish in there and how many? Is your tank cycled and whilst is the final time you checked your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH)? in case your tank is wisely cycled and your water parameters are well-known, then this would probably be some variety of swim bladder difficulty. it is not precisely a illness, yet greater of a bacterial an infection interior the swim bladder which will reason it to swell with air. in case your danio is making an attempt very annoying to swim right down to the backside of the tank and would't or if it does swim down and right this moment floats back to the exterior, then that's likely the subject. it incredibly is in basic terms right to bypass the fish to a well being facility or quarantine tank, yet once you do not have one, in basic terms be certain not one of the different fish are performing aggressive in direction of it. There are some issues you're able to do to attempt and relieve your danio of this difficulty. you could feed it finely chopped, deshelled and boiled green peas, yet because of the fact it would not look eating you could could hotel to antibacterial inner medicine. you will come across this at your interior reach puppy shop. in case your tank isn't cycled and your water parameters are no longer good, this zebra danio would properly be the 1st one to tutor warning signs of undesirable water high quality.

It definitely sounds like he's ruptured his swim bladder. As far as I know there is no way to correct it.
