Swim bladder treatment! Help!

[JadeandScott]

We think our Molly has swim bladder and have bought e treatment for it. But it says to remove the carbon filter media? We don't know what this is/means!

Also can we treat the fish while the other healthy fish are in the tank?

Take the filter bag out of the filter. You can treat the whole tank but if you have a smaller sick tank to put him in it is better. Good luck I just had to treat for a fungus on a tetra. Cleared up overnight so we got it early.

Are you sure it's swim bladder? Symptoms? You could try feeding the fish a thawed, deshelled frozen pea then fast for a couple of days as well. That alone might work. What do you feed and how often? You can treat the whole tank but for something like this that generally affects one fish isolating that fish for treatment might be best.

Well we've had the Molly a few months now and she had what we thought was a gravid spot... But now all her tummy is that dark colour! So we just left her too or after being assured she was pregnant. But two nights ago she was swimming vertically,face down! It was like she could keep her self horizontal!! She is eating fine, a few days before she was swimming funny she started hiding and pooping literally all day!!

We have tested the water numerous times n everything is absolutely fine!

We don't really know what to do! We're gna try the peas tonight x

We feed her flake food new ere.
