It has developed swim bladder disorder and hasn't gotten better in 2 weeks. I starved it for three days and then fed it peas. Then I starved it again and fed peas again. I added a little aquarium salt, have the temp a bit higher and stable. What else can I do? It was stuck at the top yesterday and today it's stuck on the bottom and is now kinda curved like it's spine is curving.
 
What kind of fish is it? You may be able to treat it with kanaplex, but if the spine is bent putting the fish down might be the most empathetic option.
 
It is a black molly. :/ How would I euthanize it if that is what is best at this point?
 
To me it sounds like it might be the best option, but I don't know that for sure. There is a sticky about euthanasia at the top of this forum section.
