Hey guys,
I have a 45cm jardini Saratoga, i noticed it hasn't eaten for 4-5 days now, thought i might have just been over feeding a bit and he just wasn't interested.
But tonight i noticed he is swimming at the top but with his back about a centimetre out of the water and when he tries to swim down as soon as he stops actively swimming he bobs straight back to the top. Is he constipated or is it a swim bladder problem? there are there fish in the tank. They are all fine, have been doing about 30% water changes every week. Please any help would be really appreciated, also have dosed with salt a few weeks back to treat fungus in another fish.

Increase the salt and aerate heavily.

do not feed.

Thanks, no it hasn't jumped. Or been out of water. i will get my big air pump out tomorrow, and add some more salt, i have temps at 25.7-26 deg accept once a week for water changes drops to around 23-24 for a few hours.

I would prefer a strong powerhead. Coupled with the pump even better.
