Answer 3

Swim bladder is simply cured by feeding your fish green veggies like lettuce or peas.  They don't have to be boiled or cooked.  Raw is fine.  Keeping your fish on a weekly diet including greens will help ward off swimbladder

NO OTHER FOODS.  Usually after a day or two they are back to being normal.

Floating pellets can cause swimbladder however it more or less causes bloat.

Try the greens.
