does a air pump in a salt water tank cause bloat in fish? Or what causes that? I bought a clown from a local pet store I've had great success with their fish. In their tank she looked fine and I took a gamble with them. They only had it a day and I should have waited a few days at least. As soon as I put it in the tank he was up in a corner fighting to stay upright. Been on side and upside down and head bobbing up towards surface of water. Other clown and tang in qt are fine. The only thing I can think of is spine injury or bloat. Didnt know if an air pump in tank causes bloat
