Firemouth swimming upside down

[Zachk29]

Firemouth seems to have swim bladder issue anything I can do to help it? Raised temp to 80 added aquarium salt and stress coat.

Reduce the water level so it can right itself. Add decor or plants to get it upright if needed. Add some Epsom salt at 1 tbsp per 5g. Add some kanamycin and keep the water pristine. Cross fingers!

did you use test strips? What size is the fish and tank?

Make sure you add Epsom salt/ Magnesium Sulfate, unscented, USP. You can get it at Target. This is different from Aquarium salt, and it will work as a laxative to help release any air bubbles/waste that could be causing the swim bladder.
