Spinning fish

["Eric Martina" <emartina@uiuc.edu>]

I had a pair of flag fish in my 29 gallon grow out tank to control the hair
algae in there. Today I switched one over to one of my ten gallon tanks so
he could eat the algae that had sprung up in there. The water conditions in
both tanks are the same. I checked in on him about an hour later and he is
swimming around spinning, very quickly, to his left uncontrollably. It is
the weirdest thing I have ever seen. The closest thing to this is when you
are fishing and have a big musky on next to the boat and it starts rolling.
Except this flag fish has been rolling for over ten minutes (that I have
seen). Any ideas what this is?

Thanks,
Eric
