I have a beautiful 7 inch diameter discus which has been acting strangely
lately. Most of the time it either lays on the bottom on its side or sits in
a corner. About once an hour it dashes around the tank, usually in tight
circles. Sometimes it dashes to the surface making a splash.
I suspect this is some kind of infection of the swim bladder or the inner
ear.

Is this the dreaded "whirling disease" ?

Is there any hope of a cure ?

I really want to save this beautiful discus. Please help ?
