I currently owned 18 ryukins. 3 days ago, 8 of my ryukins have swim bladder syndrome . some swim up side down, some tilt with face facing downward, some facing upward. some sideway and some just sink in the bottom up side down. I separate 8 sick ryukins in hospital tank.

After further observation , i found out that 8 of the sick ryukins are females!. While the other 10 are males. I've been feeding my goldfish with Hikari oranda (floating) for the past few months.

Water quality in hospital tank was very poor as goldfish kept spawning and no female goldfish seems interested to eat the eggs. I kept changing the water everyday for the past 3 days (100%). I tried to solve the swim bladder problem by hand stripping each of the female GFs. Bubble + eggs + poos coming out. Gfs will swim normally after that. But i have to do that each day as the swim bladder problem kept recurring each morning for the past 3 days.

My question is:

1. Is the floating pellets causing the swim bladder problem or female Gfs more prone to swim bladder due to constipation?

2. How long is the spawning period?

If female GFs are prone to swim bladder more than male; would that suggest hobbyist to prefer male goldfish more than female goldfish ?

Sometimes we do get carried away with our posts in Singlish but we try to minimize it and probably confine its usage in the Chit/Chat and Shout column(Hey we still haven't forgotten our very own people to vent their frustrations in our colloquial language)English is the language most commonly spoken in the net and the visitors to our website are mostly English speaking people.For the sake of our English speaking foreign members we need to exercise constraint in not over utilizing Singlish though it can be a painstaking issue especially for Singaporean who are mesmerized by it almost daily through our SMS and our daily local conversation.
