Hello all

Looks a strange one that.
Swim Bladder Disease normally, as i've seen, tips the fish horizontally not vertically but that's not to say it couldn't. I've also checked a few things on the web and it looks possible. It also looks at though she's in a tight spot trying to get air so can you remove her to a separate tank/place to see if her behaviour changes? if it doesn't i would treat or stop feeding for the 3 days etc..
good luck Drifty

I think she's not long dropped fry (as I said on your main thread ).
Maybe she's taking longer to recover than previously.

I didnt notice she was still a bit square when i first watched the video, she will hopefully return to normal after giving birth.
I wonder if the fry can press on the swim bladder causing the issue of swimming vertically. But I can say I havent seen it before.

I think she may have dropped her last batch of fry, it does exhaust them, and the older they are the worse it is (also if they're very young).

I think she is probably worn out from doing what livebearers do unfortunately.
