Constipation and swim bladder

[cwk84]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new in this FH. Recently just got a FH. I want to know more about swim bladder and constipation symptom.
If the fish is in early stage of constipation, will it still continue to poop a lot or it wont poop at all for few days?

If the fish swim tilt at 15 degree angle, is it a swim bladder sign? It still eat as normal and very active when it see me.
Swimming around the tank as normal just that it sometimes will swim at 15 degree angle to the right. It wont swim upright.

If he is constipated I don't think he would be pooping at all I would feed him a shelled pea I've heard it very good for constipation also try adding Epsom salt.

That's what i'm wondering too..he poops a lot brown color. No white string found.
Do i have to fast the fish for a day or 2 before feeding him the peas?
