Triggerfish spinning???

[Alexg]

I took a video of a crosshatch trigger, she was spinning and flipping like crazy.
Any idea as to why she would be doing this?

Swim bladder or collection issue... no clue but not good.

I've read that fish that require a large swimming space and don't get it can sometimes go .. bonkers. Maybe it's just nuts?

That trigg is a high end fish and requires a huge tank, like 180g-220g. Especially with it size!!! That isn't good and looks as he could have crypt, ive seen fish with crypt act like that, fish tend to act loony when they have it, any ich? You treating with any meds? Either way I would get him in a bigger tank ASAP.

MIght be bladder issues. Crosshatches are mostly collected mostly in deep water. Collectors normally pop the Crosshatch's bladder on the way up but sometimes they dont pop them right.

Is that a new fish??? If it was a gas bladder issue it would either be at the top or at the bottom of the column...it looks like a neurological issue to me...especially the way it makes no attempt to avoid slamming into the walls...I don't think that fish has much more time...

Not my fish, it's at a LFS. They had it in their large display for a week or two before it started acting like that. I guess they did a dip earlier in the day but didn't see any changes. I was just curious as to what it could be, they weren't sure and I've never seen or hard anything like that before.

Also I didn't see any ich on it at all. Nothing at all that I could see was abnormal ON the fish.
