I have had Falcor the luck dragon for 2 years, female leucistic, and recently she has been acting extremely weird and it breaks my heart. I woke up this morning and she was swimming against the glass, almost like she was trying to swim out, normally I'd think she was just trying to get a breath before going back down. But she did this for 10 minutes straight. I blamed it on poor water so I tested and it came up normal and placed her in a container and fridged for an hour while I did a 40% water change and scrubbed the inside of the aquarium. When I finished I floated the container, she was swimming really weird inside it, swaying he body side to side. When i put her back in the tank she was still doing it, struggling to swim, whenever she would try and swim up to take some air she wouldn't be able o make it so I'd gently guide her before she went down again. She now hasn't gone up for 20 minutes and is floating vertically and won' go down no matter what I do. Her skin is bright pink and has white splotches. Any idea what could possibly be wrong? Nothing has changed in the last few days and I've seen nothing like this before. Is she dying? She is my world
 
Sorry to read that Falcor is not doing so well. Could you maybe add some photo's of heAlso what is the current temperature of her tank?
 
Agreed, do you have ever photos and what is the water temp?

I could be wrong, but did I read that fridging can help if they are having buoyancy issues?
