There's not much else you can do for a swim bladder disorder than peas and/or fasting. If she doesn't have a bowel movement, she will not make it, unfortunately. When a fish is constipated, it makes the intestines bulg and the swim bladder is located next to the intestines, so the blug effects the swim bladder making it difficult to expand or deflate in order to move around the water column.

You can email me a picture, my email is phishie@pethobbyist.com. I would like to continue correspondence here as it will help other people if they encounter this problem, but I'll take a look at the picture via email.

I hope GWS can pull through and be a happy healthy fish. I have been wondering how she was doing. I have my fingers crossed for her. Please keep me posted. Keep up the fasting and feeding peas.
