    Ya it sucks cause he cant really do anything. It does appear that a portion of his stomach is MAYBE a little bloated its hard to tell though.

    could it possibly be a parasidic infection? i have heard that can affect swim bladder.

    Talked to someone else at the store today, they said the two of the fish came in pinched in the bag and they believe that their swim bladders were popped in transport. Dont think that is something that can fix its self.

    Appreciate it, I knew what I was getting into when I took it in. Unfortunately it didnt work out how I had hoped.
