Swim bladder solutions please?

Question

I do not know what to do anymore. I have a fantail goldfish. they were perfectly fine 2 days ago.. I had to move them so I put them in a norm. bowl, they were there for about 45 min. then put them back in the aquarium. And that's when one of them started to float tummy up...I don't understand why. What do I do???

Answer 1

This means it is sick!

They will continue to do this until they are better it is better!

The other one might need to be transferred into a different

bowl!

The sick one has hope to live but until you know what it is let it fight it on its own!

Answer 2

Cook a pea then peel it mash it and feed it to him. Also check your water parameters the disease can be be the cause of it too. Don't put em in a bowl!!! Thatll cause death. If he's on the surface now then he's not gonna make it. In other words he may die. =( sorry!

Edit

Swim bladder DOESN'T spread its due to the water and overfeeding. The fishes swiming bladder will collapse so he will lose his bouyancy

Answer 3

Seperate the sick fish from any other ones you have. It will get better on it's own. You really don't need a remedy for this, it is common among goldfish.

Feed him his normal food, at least twice a day. The container does not have to be big, just a small bowl. If you are using tap water, use water conditioner, you can buy it at any pet store. Make sure the water is room temperature. Not cold, not warm.
