Frontosa floating

[Jkempel]

A week ago I saw my frontosa swimming weird like he couldn't go down, so now I I was wondering what I can do about it ?
Btw can he get air in his body by an air stone?

Sounds like it could be swim bladder problems, first and foremost check your water quality, wouldnt hurt to do a water change which can help

I agree do a 50% water change and test your water before the change if you can. Check ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and Ph. if the fish is eating try feeding it some (Two) shelled green peas. One cause could be constipation compressing the swim bladder. You can aslo add 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt per 5 gallons of water. This along with the peas should clean the fish out good, if constapation is the issue this will solve the problem. Even if the fish isn't eating the epsom salt will do the trick. Another cause could be a bacterial infection but try the epsom salt and pea first and see how that works.
