Thanks so, so much for your help. Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was gone for two weeks.



I had a friend feed my fish four times during those two weeks. I thought this might help the male with his swim bladder condition. When I got back from my vacation, he was still acting sick. After a couple of days, though, he changed back to the old healthy self. Now he is completely back to normal. Swimming, flashing at her, eating, making bubble nests etc. It really looks like it was a swim bladder issue.



One thing that was different after my trip was that the whole tank was tinted green with algae. Never had a problem with that. I scrubbed it off wherever I could, changes about 20-30% of the water. Not sure what to do about the algae. Not sure why I have this problem now. I will start a new post for that.



Thanks again!

I am so happy he's back to normal.

Carolin
