Last night I went to go feed my loaches and noticed one of my panda tetras floating on his side. I love my pandas so I immediately took him out and put him in a container so I could get a better look at him.
That's when I realized he had something stuck on his mouth and couldn't breath properly. So I gently held his little head and then pulled the thing out of his mouth. I didn't really look at what it was but it was something stringy. I looked back and him and he was breathing but still floating upside down. I had no idea what to do and it was late and I had work this morning so I have him a 10min salt bath (which made him float a bit more normal) and put him on a breeder box back in my tank. This morning he is swimming straight and enjoying some food! But I do think I will leave him in there for another day he looks a bit shaken up still and the pandas like to pick on other sick fish.
I was very worried all night but am glad he is ok now.
Had anyone ever had anything like this happen to them before??
