This afternoon my cowfish started hovering vertically, head down in the corner of my aquarium. See attached pic.
I thought he was just acting silly for a while, but hours later he is still doing it and he didn't come to eat at a all when I fed the other fish. I have read that cowfish can develop buoyancy problems by eating at the surface. I use a turkey baster to feed him below the surface but he still goes after pieces of food that float to the surface.
Does anyone know if this is symptomatic of a buoyancy issue, and if so, how to treat it? My family loves the little guy and we definitely don't want to lose him.
Thanks for any advice...
