Question
Hi two of my fancy goldfishhave swinbladder. one of the fish swins ok then goes of side to side sometimes then the other fish floats to the top and stay there and them sometimes goes back to normal. I am best to try the pea frsit and to use Epsom Salts has well and maybe esha2000. also i was looking on the net and some people made a swinbladder belt? do you no of any body who has done this.
Also would it been best advice to take the two fishs to a vet for other treatments?
Thanks
David

Answer
Hello!

I would never use a swim bladder belt, in my opinion something like that would never work and I would not recommend using it.

You are doing everything right, continue with what you are doing and keep your water pristine.

You can take them to a vet if you want, but very few will care enough to do anything about a goldfish.
