I bought a big Burundi front with an unknown (didn’t look to close) swim bladder issue. He is stuck on the bottom. Eats fine and seems to be ok however after numerous attempts and treatment (salt, peas,epsom salts) there is really no change. Wonder if this issue will eventually work itself out? Is there any other treatments I could try? Can a frontosa live like this? Gotta suck for him but he does not seem bothered and is otherwise healthy so just curious. Nobody seems to bother him as he is not really a threat
