Honestly, is it better that he is just resting on the bottom ? Or worse? Because when my old red cap used to stay at top them bottom.. Lady said it was better on bottom meaning its breathing OK... Anyway it died that night .. Later learned it was ich and fin rot. She came sick from the pet store!

I really can't express all the help you have given me thus far. I will now do a PWC... Add the aquarium salt hope bitner turns around. He's a strong fish I'll give him that!!! Beat through catching ich. Then got ich and a cut in his side. Pulled through both of those. Swim bladder can't kill him !
BTW I saw on one of your links sent. (,swim bladder medication) should I buy it?? Or just try the aquariam salt?

I have not dosed salt yet... I was just about to test water with the paper strips since that's all I have & bring water to be tested at pet land now.
He's just sitting on bottom past 2 hours not moving fins. Once and a while he's moving them.
Am I adding the aquariam salt to the new water going into the tank ? Or just the stress coat

That's a picture of my filter I changed the filter cartridge every week when I do my water change. I also wipe the inside of the filter cuz it feels good almost as germs do you think maybe I should start leaving it maybe its good bacteria? Those are the cartridges that I use for my filter change monthly but I read online because goldfish produce a lot of waste to change it more so like I said I change it every water change which is weekly
Before PWC nitrate is in safe...nitrite at a 0

Alkalinity between 0-40
