I have heard of swim bladder...how is this treated? I took over complete care of the tank at easter time (on behalf of my 6 yr old son who has suddenly shown marked intrest in the fish**I told him it was now his**). Until early april the fish were only fed 2x to 3x a week--med. sized cichlid pellets and live fish 1x every 3 months or so (this was my husbands baby, but he's been working out of state and so I have taken over and completely changed how often and what the fish now eat). I have peas out of my garden that I will put in. I would like to pull him out of the tank, but I'm afraid that will only stress him out more than he already is...and he is fairly old, 7 yrs now.
