question about the health of my glass fish.

I have a glass fish that has been an extremely healthy fish, until a few days ago when it starting spinning all of the time. It swims fine and eats ok but it is always spinning in some way. Can anyone help?

Probably a swim bladder infection. Usually fish do not recover from swim bladder problems, by the time they show symptoms the infections are usually quite a ways along. I would suggest isolating the fish immediately, using Methylene Blue for its antibacterial qualities in the isolation tank, and doing a 50% waterchange on the original tank.

?

Thank you for your quick response. By isolation, do you mean a completely different tank? or a quarantine mesh box?

a seperate tank would be best. meth. blue dyes things and you'll want to be sure to have anything you don't want dyed around the tank covered with plastic bags.
