Unstable Fish

[StPatrick89]

What disease makes fish be unstable, like their equilibrium is if. They hide in isolation under a rock(rock is suspended of course). Does this sound familiar? Had a clown Tang die yesterday, also had a convict Tang perish a few months ago the same. Noticed him doing that, now my Atlantic blue is kind of mimicking the same behavior

Death has been known to cause this.

Two things can cause this: a fish that is moribund (dying) will swim in an unstable fashion. Fish with air bladder disease will also swim oddly - either floating or sinking. If you could post a video, I would be able to better tell you what's going on.

Ok will post a video later on. What’s air bladder? Is that the same as swim bladder?
