goldenswimmers Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 A couple of pics of the little ryukins coming through and theres a bigger bunch after this batch....very happy with the genetics as the two males I am using are a very strong white and red(no "fade to orange"on these guys)and they are crossed with a really nice calico female...which equals quite a few "speckled" white babies...nice stuff...

Matmatmat Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have one(not one of yours), and I think it's got a swim bladder problem has just been sitting on the bottom of the tank? I read that taking them out and keeping in shallow water for a while helps so is currently in about 3 inches of water in a container with an air stone.. May have to do a salt bath and some peas? Not quite sure what else to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that taking them out and keeping in shallow water for a while helps so is currently in about 3 inches of water in a container with an air stone.. May have to do a salt bath and some peas? Not quite sure what else to do? you'll know if a ryukin has a bladder problem by the way he swims normally....if his butt starts to rise big time and head starts going down when he swims..so it looks like he is going to start flipping or spinning when he is swimming..and if he has to fight this every time then i'd say he has a swim bladder problem...he could have some fungal/bacteria issue affecting his gills(you just cant see it so its hard to tell but sitting on the bottom is sometimes a sign)...so he holds up on the movement...I'd do the peas for his guts just in case and maybe some basic anti fungal..have you tried malachite green etc to get anything hanging in the gills...good aeration and see what happens after the anti-fungal...can even look at possibly worms if still no love after this....just my 5c mate...

goldenswimmers Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 reckon its a good sign they are healthy if they can swim fast yeah mate the anti fungal and lots of aeration...bit of a water change....usually does wonders if I have a similar issue with a fish..and the peas in case there is a bit of a blockage going on too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lachie1998 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 nice goldfish i think goldfish anf flowerhorn are a little bit similar cause with fh and goldfish you are playing with genetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenswimmers Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'd have to agree with you lachie....just they have 100's of years of playing with genetics on the goldfish side.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
