I just bought a lapradei and he won't stop floating. Even if you push her to the bottom she floats to the top. With his back end rising first. Her fins in front of her anal fin is a little red. I did a 50 percent water change and added pimafix to start. What next?

How about leave her alone to settle? Geez! "Push her to the bottom?"
 
11 inches. It's been two days. A healthy fish would not let me pick it up and would swim away. It's unable to swim to the bottom. shes not hiding just floating wherever the current takes her. From what I've been reading it could be built up gas and should pass without a problem, but what concerns me is the reddish fun. I don't want to let an infection kill her while I was just letting it pass.

i think some pics would help, it sounds like she has gas in her like you said, I would fast her a couple days and if doesn't pass feed her pellets and see if the pellets help pass the air, but i think pics would help if you could
 
might be internal parasites, stress, or bloat.
