Indonesian Tigerfish - Datnioides microlepis

Member with a lot to say
Datnoid not doing well. Cannot equilibrate and maintain buoyancy. Lays on the bottom or among the roots of pothos growing out the top of the tank. I attempted a swim bladder venting procedure a couple of weeks ago but it didn’t work. The abdomen is distended on one side only. Still managing to eat… looking for a fish vet. I’m worried it’s a tumor. It’s around 9 years old, 18 inches. :(

So sorry to hear that. Quite a monster fish! Hopefully it can recover soon.
