hi guys hope some one can help ive got a 14" kelberi and i think my bully orino has layed into him and damaged his swim bladder . about 4-5 days ago the kel was looking a little tatty and i no my orino is a bully so i think hes had ago at him so i moved the kel into a quarenteen tank and he started to go upside down, if he swims he stays upright but soon as he stops he flips over, so im assuming swim bladder, hes been like this for 4-5 days now and is slowly deteriorating and has stopped eating, ive tried peas but he wont eat them ive tryed api melafix and a interpet swim bladder medication with no luck also tryed salt but been carefull with it as ive read pbass are sensative to it but again no luck , ive been doing daily w.c and have even wedged him against the glass upright to see if he sorted himself out but no good. i cannot think or anything else to help him can any one suggest anything plz . thanks in advance

No way you can save him. He's probably dead now anyway.
 
no still alive and has been like that for about 5 days . tryed everything i can think of but nothings worked so i think i will have to put him out of his misery i think. how would i do it as ive never had to do it before

What have you tried so far to help it?

Have you tryed lowering and raising the water level over the course of several hours. A damaged swim bladder depending on the severity of injury can be healed on some ocassions by manipulating the the water level and changing the pressure so it fills and releases air. It may be too late but it's worth a try before euthanizing you have nothingto loose at this point.
