Had to google that fish Alan they do look amazing.
Think people who handle snakes etc are brave. Snakes fascinate me but I could never own one Was quite pleased with myself that I got the pebble out though Was funny now I look back, and the fish is fine and still sucking pebbles |

Mum had to the same thing! And my Mum hates fish, she was brave and used her finger to fish out the stone.

How big was the fish? I could not have done it without tweezers |

And we had this really cute fancy fish that we called Bubbles, and when I fed the fish, I noticed it was floating around, uncontrollably, but it was alive. I held some food to its mouth for it to get some, and believe it or not, he ate Was very pleased!

hi glynis, re your upside down fish, is he not suffering from swim bladder disease?

If he's been like it for 2 years, it's unlikely. But good suggestion.

Hi Tartaruga Amore, he has been like that for over two years now. Have treated him for swim bladder, tried peas, tonic salts, different foods etc, etc and nothing makes a difference. He does everything a normal fish does, just upside down. He seems quite happy and not at all stressed. Maybe one of natures little quirks?

I did a thread on my upside fish a little while ago to see what people thought. He eats fine, usually the first to the top lol. He lives with 6 other fish, I know this will sound funny, but they kind of look after him Thought of trying something to get him upright but think it would just hamper him too much.
