Hello,

A few days ago my ram started swimming funny, he would kind of "sway" side to side, no he's only hanging out towards the top of the tank in the corner and am pretty sure he has swim bladder. I'm guessing it may have been caused by too much feeding...bloodworms in particular???

All my other fish are fine however. I fasted the fish for two days, but now I need help with how to treat the one fish who has the disease. I have a medicated flake with Kamamycin, I hear that's good for swim bladder...? But is it okay for the healthy fish to eat..? Or is there a better option? Thanks for your help.
 
Now the sick one is missing, good grief, it's a 20 gallon tank, and I can see everywhere in the tank and it just isn't there! I checked on the ground and all around the tank... Is it possible that he passed during the night and got eaten...? Not sure if that's a realistic possibility.
