Lifted tail?

axleandblacksel · Mar 4, 2010

hi everyone,
i think my baby is sick.
for the last 2 days his tail has been lifted, quite high in the air,
other sites said that he may be constipated and that he should be put in the fridge but i am unsure how i go about this.
should i put him in his small tank and fill it with water or should i put him in a smaller container?
i am also worried that it may be a bacteria.
can anyone help?

Hi,

how old is your axie and do you have sand/gravel/stones on the bottom or is it a bare bottom tank? What are your water parameters?

hi Tina,
I dont know how old he is i rescued him, he is a fully grown male, i do have gravel at the bottom of the tank but i have never seen him eat it.
I have a 50 litre tank.
last night i cleaned out the tank and removed the gravel, i have put him in the frigde because thats what other sites recommended.
i also noticeds a small white sore on his tail. any ideas what may have caused this?
i did have other fish with him and i have removed them to another tank after they started eating his food. ( frozen blood worms, meat pellets).

What kind of fish? And the sores can be a result of illness due to impaction.

feeder fish and 2 goldfish, i was told that he would/could eat the gold fish because they were quite small at the time but they started eating his food and are too big for him to eat now, they seemed fine in the tank together but i saw the goldfish attacking him ( his gills) and tha'ts why i have now removed them from the tank.
the sore on his tail is small and round, it looks white.
