Hey,

IN the course of talking about a sick fish without external symptoms,
someone mentioned that the fish might have become a belly slider.

What exactly is a belly slider?  Is it just a fish that's got a
developmental problem with its swim bladder, and so can swim properly?

Do they eventually die of this, of just go about scuttling along the bottom?

How old/big do they need to be before this stops happening? The fish in
question is around 1" long, so I'd have thought that it wasn't at risk
anymore.

Thanks!

Doug
