i know i shouldn't of started a new thread but no one really replying and i need help, its been 3 days now that my jack dempsey is been upside down and not getting any better, i tried the skinned peas but wont eat, i have had her 3 yrs now and really dont wanna lose her, iam about positive its her swim bladder or her eggs are stuck its been about a yrs since she bred its not my water i tested it and other fish are eating and are just fine can i squeeze her to get it out or any ideas, she getting weaker and i know she not gonna last much longer
 
you say your water parameters are good but we need actual numbers so we can see whether they are good or not, i havent read your other thread but have you tried clout or anything, usually swim bladder issues are hard to cure though
 
i dont know how she got it thats the thing, i did water change the night before came home from work and turned light on and thats when i seen her laying upside down kinda wondering if make had anything to do with it he kinda beating her up to breed. but prob not, and shes kinda fat to so i was thinking eggs or swim bladder, my water is ammonia 0 and nitrite is 0
 
but what are your nitrates? and that sucks though sorry, it always sucks when a nice fish suddenly gets sick on you
 
my buddy had his female Jd do this to him about 3 months ago..had her a year, one day flipped upside down..died the next night
 
mines been like this for 4 days now and shes still alive, i force fed her frozen peas last night but shes still the same today
 
Can you put her in her own tank? And do water change dayily and force feed her peas with love and luck she should get better hope she stay alive on you good luck tho
