Hey guys. I’ve had a Blue Chromis now for about 3 years. He was the only tank habitant and always parked himself in the corner of the tank with his nose pointing up. He never really swam around just always seemed very scared. I recently acquired some snails and other clean up crew. His attitude didn’t change much. He just hid. Two days ago I introduced two clownfish and I see a bit of a change with him. He is now swimming around with the clown fish occasionally. But he does so with his nose at a 45 degree angle upwards. It’s definitely not a normal swim pattern either. I fed him this morning and he seemed to be trying to get the food but he was missing it. It was very odd. It looks like his stomach is a bit enlarged as well. I was reading about swim bladder and think maybe this could be the issue. I’m not sure how to treat him or if there is anything I can do. Do you all have any advice or is this the beginning of the end for poor Fred?
