Default DILEMMA

i have a glolite tetra that seems to have swim bladder disease. He is swimming all over the place, upside down, sideways.....etc. Should i just put him out of his misery. I am not feeding any of my fishes today and i raised the temp some and added some salt.

Swim-bladder disorder / disease is caused by a viral or a bacterial infection. If you want to try and save it add 1/2 tsp. seasalt per gal, and treat with MelaFix. It might be enough to save it depending on how long it has been like this. Try to save and if that doesnt work then euthanize
