My FH came down with swim bladder infection. Well at least I think it is. He cant stay upright anymore. He can for a little bit but starts to flip and stay on his side. He still eats like a champ and flares on my jag. Dont know what to treat him with. I had this bad boy since fry now he is 10in. Any help please.
Problems with my ZZ FH

i am sorry that i can't help. i haven't had much luck getting rid of swim bladder disease (if that is what it is). every time one of my fish started swimming out of control, it died within a day or two. hopefully someone can help you.
i am sorry for the gloomy outlook. i really hope it is different for you and maybe i can learn something from your thread. i had three different africans get it and hopefully ca cichlids are easier to fix. ca/sa cichlids are heartier than most africans so hopefully you will have more of a chance to treat your fh. good luck.
I don't want to be negative, but I've had this happen only once. He ended up lopsided in an upper corner of the tank. He was still eating, so I didn't have the heart to put him down. Found him dead after I was away for a weekend.
someone on here helped me when my front had it....its guna sound stupid but...
hold the fish upright for a couple of minutes to centre it and it should HOPEFULLY swim off right as rain.
worked for mine, a huge bubble appeared from somewhere, although i have a sneaky feelin i no where from lol but then he was fine

its been like 2 weeks already. wake up every morning and he is still kicking. some days he swims around like he doesnt have it and it never fails he starts turning and leaning to the side. cant really put him down. i had him since fry size.

I definitely wouldn't recommend putting him down. I know in fancy goldfish, peas are recommended for swim bladder issues. You could give it a shot with the FH- it couldn't hurt at least.
