robdog013 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I just stripped my cobalt female and now she is swimming a bit funny with her tail a bit higher than normal, she is on like a constant 30 degree angle. Will she come good? or is it I could have introduced some air into her belly? cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRK-351 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 should be ok. they sometimes do this and you are right, it is from air. they usually swim abit funny for a few hours till they get rid of the air and all is fine again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I just stripped my cobalt female and now she is swimming a bit funny with her tail a bit higher than normal, she is on like a constant 30 degree angle. Will she come good? or is it I could have introduced some air into her belly? cheers Rob Sounds like she has a mouthful of air. Does it look as though she is still holding? When I put females back after stripping, I hold them in the top of the tank and strip the air they are holding before releasing them. If it is air, she should come good in a few hours. Hope she is okay. Cheers Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
