Who Told Patsy Palmer She Could Act?
ChatterBank1 min ago
Hiya,
I posted a few days ago about my poorly shub (who's picked up a bit, but is still looking a little glum!)
Anyway, having looked on a few websites (following your suggestions it may be something to do with his swim bladder) they've all suggested i feed him peas. I was just wondering if tinned garden peas will be sufficient? And also, i have two other fish in the tank, will they be ok if they munch on a bit of pea too?
Also, while I'm here, can anyone recommend a way of getting extra oxygen into the tank? I've seen some oxygenating tables, but wondered if something like an airstone would be better?
Thanks!

You could also try a bit of live food if your local pet shop sells it. There are very few fish that will refuse live food. Daphnia and bloodworm are good or a couple of maggots if you know any anglers.
An airstone (left on 24/7) will be the best soloution. Some aerating pond weed (elodia) would help too.
Good luck and glad the fish is looking a bit better
