CoralCrazy Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 So I have been hoping and praying I was wrong. But after lots and lots of research I believe my beloved dwarf zebra has a blockage.(sad) He has now been upside down floating around my tank for two days. His color is perfect but he keeps acting like he is trying to spit something out. If anyone has any ideas how to make him better please let me know. And just for information sake the last thing fed to him was 4 ghost shrimp. I think maybe he ate one of the little crab the runs around the tank.

ReeFit Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 sounds like his swim bladder is blocked with whatever he ate so it won't deflate. He may pull through it once its digested. try spot feeding him small amounts of food soaked in garlic and wait it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 So my poor lion didnt make it. Looked at him after he died and could see a shell. Had a feeling he might have eaten a crab. If I ever get another one he will be in a tank with no small crab. Hard way to learn a lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 sorry to hear about the loss, it always sucks to learn it the hardway. but then again there usually isn't any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
