How can i treat my goldfish fast? He may have swim bladder infection. Is there a treatment?
admin on September 26th, 2009
He has a swim bladder problem and has a hard time staying at the bottom. All day he hangs out in the top corner floating and now is starting to turn on his side. One side of his belly got swollen today, which makes him unbalanced. He lives in a 10 gallon tank with filter. I feed him peas…and it’s not working as well. His color is also fading please help!
Anti-bacterial medication. You can use melafix but an actual medication is your best bet at this point since it it an internal bacterial infection. Swim bladder infections are usually caused by ramming or fighting, so try to watch for any bad behavior.
Try an orange slice, and next time you feed him mix the flakes in water before you add them in so that they sink and he doesn’t grab air when he eats. Swim bladder usually corrects itself after time, but will occur again if he swallows the air when he eats.

Isolate him if he is not on his own. Try aquariam salts and warm water and if you can find it Interpet do a swim bladder treatment . Follow the instructions and hopefully he should be ok. One of my goldfish had all the symptoms of dropsy and I used this treatment and it worked within 24 hours. Good luck
