My Oranda, Pudge, has been acting strangely these past two days. I'm not sure if it might have been a little longer though.

Because I was setting up a new tank, introducing new fish, and working on commissions, I might have missed it at first, not sure.

In any case, here are Pudge's symptoms.. ):

___

He tends to go near the bottom corner of the tank ( usually left hand side )

He is not sitting on the ground he is floating just beside a plant at least an inch above..

He stays still for a bit

When he is like this he tilts downwards slightly

Occasionally he'll rise to the top of the tank and glup at the surface

One of his eyes is pushed in a bit but I think it was always like that..

___




Here's the thing. He does this only sometimes but just enough so that I know something is wrong. He does swim around and eat fine the remainder of the time, which is strange to me.

He has no strange markings or anything wrong with him other than his fins that got nipped short because of this Cichlid Dach had given me a while back.

I removed the Cichlid as soon as I caught wind of it.. that was a bit ago, a little over a week?

Additionally the other fish with him are fine and show no signs of health problems what so ever..

Thanks in advance for any advice guys. I really appreciate it. I want Pudge to be as healthy and happy as he can be..
