Lower the water level so the fish can stay upright. Dim lights and reduce stress. Make sure the water it’s in is clean and cross ur fingers. Can add some salt 1 tsp per g but adjust to the amount of water in the tank.
Have you contacted the seller? I’d do that and what kno4te said.
I contacted the seller, he offered to send another fish but since is bigger I'll have to pay more.

Sounds like paying the difference might be your best bet to get what you want. My experience has been when a fish is to the point that yours is, they almost never make it Sorry to say. Where did you buy it?I contacted the seller, he offered to send another fish but since is bigger I'll have to pay more.

Sorry to hear. Lowering helps to keep it from flipping around if it allows itself. Hope it lays on its side if water level is right. It may not recover and luckily the seller is trying to make it right.I contacted the seller, he offered to send another fish but since is bigger I'll have to pay more.
