hey,
just adopted a fan tail off my mother, pretty sure its swim bladder has gone as all it does is float on top of the water, but its been doing it for about 6 months now and its still alive, it attempts to swim but cant get from the top of the water, most of the time its upside down lol.
my original plan was to put it in my 30gal community tank but im pretty sure that some of the fish in there will nip its fins as it doesnt move about much, so ive set up a 10L tank for it with a small filter and a small heater (set on low as the room its in gets really cold).
my question is, is there any way at all to sort its swim bladder out? ive tried feeding it a pea before but it wasnt interested in it in anyway, so any help will be great!
thanks
