Yesterday I noticed one of my corys swimming in a weird way.
A few hours later, he fell onto his side. When I would gently push him, he would move at different angles. One time it even looked as if he was standing on his tail because he was learning on one of the decorations.
I put him in a bucket with tank water to see what happens. Last night he was able to push himself back upright, then he would fall onto his side, then again upright, and so on.
This morning he is upright. But when I gently push him the only thing happens is that he moves his tail. Nothing else. He doesn't swim away quickly. Just waves his tail a bit.
Does this sound like swim bladder? Should I euthanize as he doesn't seem to be able to swim?
