Hi everyone, I got this perch on Tuesday and he ate a ropefish that was in the tank. He regurgitated it yesterday but now he’s just sitting on the bottom and barely able to swim. Should I treat it for swim bladder or what do you think I should do? Thanks

karmic justice for starting a fade with my boi the ropefish.
No joke though that probably seriously hurt that guy, did he live
also did the ropefish live?
