I have a Jaguar Cichlid that has been floating for two years now. It seems to be getting worse or it’s getting older but it can’t stay upright any longer. When this first started the fish would swim down to eat and mess with the other fish, typical Jag. Now it’s just upside down floating.

Has anyone ever poked the bladder with a needle to relieve the air?

is that possible?

I added a couple pics

Just an update after posting and answering the forums questions. This jag is in an 1100 gallon tank. One sump connected to another tank for a total of 2000 gallons of super cool fish keeping.
No other fish has issues.
I just want to know if anone has “popped” the bladder on a fish, and did it work? My guy is exhausted and can’t eat. I’m going to do it I just need recommendations.
