So a week ago my molly was acting weird and I found out after some research and help on the forum that it was swim bladder. I starved her for three days and then fed her some peas as was recommended. Sadly I have not seen an improvement. She is alive for sure but stuck at the top of the water unless she really really wants something on the bottom and darts to get it. Any other treatment options? Will I have to euthanize her if it doesn't improve :( ?
 
Yeah she is floating at the top. She was mostly vertical with her head towards the substrate the past few days but today she was more on her side. She can force herself to stay lower for a minute but then gets tired and floats again.
