I really am irritated at most of the folks that try to tell aquarium hobbyists that their fish has a swim bladder disease or infection or illness. That is false information! I'm sorry you had to waste your time and money on that. The problem is your fish is either being overfed or has a slender body form. Meaning he's constipated... and just needs a few frozen peas to nibble on for fiber. Has he/she been pooping? My guess is he/she hasn't been, so it is indeed constipated. Try that. Just feed him peas instead of food for about 5 days. See how that works. Let us know.

Good luck. I hope he/she starts to feel better soon.
