Mine did not make it either. After adding the epsom salt it continued to get worse and worse. Didn't make it beyond 2 days.I had a similar issue with one of my bass when I was out of the country and a friend was watching my fish.I think he overfed them and it that caused his swim bladder to get out of whack. He took the fish to a pet store where they relived the swim bladder and that worked for a day but ultimately the fish didn’t stabilize after and didn’t make it.
