I recently found that one of the ADFs that was shipped into work has been swimming upsidedown for about two weeks. I saw him yesterday having a spasm underwater at the middle of the tank, like he was drowning. he cant find the surface, and rightly so, he's upside down. i have him in a smaller tank right now. very little water, just enough to cover his body, and his head is elevated. but he'll flip over and wont be able to flip back. i'm worried that hes going to drown. i'm doing everything in my power to keep him alive, but i have no idea for how long. does anyone know whats going on?? I've noticed that he has a black line going from his throat to his butt. is that something i should be worried about? did he swallow a rock? I patted his little back when i flipped him over and he coughed up a little water...
