SWIM BLADDER DISORDER - How to Treat and Prevent it

“Your fish might be genetically wonky.” -Luke’s professional diagnosis. Lol But this is so true. Could just be a problem with the way the fish is put together. Your video was very helpful. Never would have thought of increasing the heat.

Also taking pets to the vet can be very expensive and still not save your fish. I had a Guinea pig I took to the vet once and they told me it would be $300 to treat the problem. I started crying right away because I could not afford that. They did reduce the amount to $60 and sent me home with care instructions. My Guinea died that night anyway. A New Guinea pig is $30. Not that pets can be replaced so easily but in the grand scheme of things a trip to the vet can be really expensive and still not save your pet. 😢💔

Thanks for this

Mine developed (I believe SBD) and a stressful move. He is mostly floating at the top now. Not upside down thankfully but when he does try to swim down, he has to exert a lot of energy and he usually swimming back up semi floating or in circles (like flips). I feed them peas about once a month.
They stay room temp but I am about to drop in some heaters and crank it up to 80. Start fasting. Swap food to sinking and start some epsom salt baths tomorrow after I pick up the goods.
I was hoping it would just pass.
One of my others (Orandas) also developed an ouching on his lip but I am happy to say he seems to be doing better/healing.
I may just move this guy to the hospital tank and try everything for a bit and see how it goes vs treating my whole large tank. I also have met/prim for meds but will be picking up the med U suggested. I need to learn the broccoli food as peas is my only greens I feed.

PLS SOMEONE ANSWER THIS CAN YOU TURN THE EHAT UP FOR FRESHWATER/COLDWATER FISH

Luke i have a 450 litres tank and i just want to how often does it needs a water change as i am getting back yo the hobby

What would I do? I got oranda who travalled almost 34hrs. and he got sbd.

My gold fish is like this i just clean the tank and change for new water😢

Ive put my affected fish in a hospital tank for now. I am not feeding him for 3 days and I've been giving him daily Epsom salt baths only 1 tbs per gallon, after the 3 days I am gonna try feeding him a cooked pea hopefully he pulls through.

One of my orandas was born eith tiny tailbone stunning tail somtimes she finds it hard to balance i know she dose not have swimbladder disorder she swims normaly boy dose she love her food

Great information thks

Thank you thank you thank you, my dinosaur bichir, “Boo” is just a baby and he and I are very close … He even lets me pet him…I would’ve hate to have lost him bc of the overfeeding of the pellets. Will update. God bless you!

Should I separate into a quarantine tank for treatment?

What if they were up at the top and now it's down on the bottom.

Very frustrating situation
As a gold fish parent of 14yrs
Our giant goldfish is sick again.
In the past treating her in a separate take with salt helped very much but unfortunately this time she 8s upside down / nose down very sad to see our big golden girl sick. 😢
We will definitely try some of these suggestions.
Thank you
Great video 👍👍

My goldfish is doing this and I don't Epson salt what do I do

You alot like a teacher I know 😅

Funny how you have Bubba and my Bubbles has been living upside down for 7-10 days. Please help. She is only about a year old. I moved her to their new larger home 6-7 weeks ago. She LOVES playing in the flow and the bubbles...Should I isolate her? PLEASE HELP

my fish died before this video

Luke my Rynkin having some SBD issues when i bought 2 months back, but the issue is she is always gasping for air on top like your Bubba, and even feed siking pellets then she is the fast in eating as much as possible, and later belly turned up, dont feed for 1 day and back to normal, this happening regularly, so can u suggest what i can do, because water quality is good, temp is 26-27, feeding peas twice in a week. Very active but this issue not able to solve. Poop also sometimes having bubbles, so i have to use the antibiotic or some other suggestion.

Just kupchak water new show 🐖in tank you 1 mouth meeting 4 week old water just support time eating fish golden fish just long have time fully water new show 🐖in tank 😂👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰👍

I watched a video from a Vietnamese channel. They treated Swim Bladder Disease (up side down fish) and Dropsy by Organic Unsweetened Cacao powder. There are two ways of treatment. Way 1: They mixed the cacao powder with fresh new water in a Quarantine tank and dipped the fish in it with aeration. I don't know the ratio of Cacao powder and water but they said just mixing the soup as light brown color. Way 2: Mix 1 tablespoon of cacao powder with little bit water and rolling into balls as small as pellets, then feeding the fish. Both ways worked very well and the fish healed completely.

So my oranda is completely upside down at the bottom, when. He swims around and is fine and looks super good but then is just at the bottom completely upside down and it’s in my 150 gallon stock tank with a couple other koi. I hate to just leave him like that it’s bothering me big time..

I got 3 goldfishes from a store, it seems ok in shop till i got home 1 of the oranda started having the sb issue in the airbag. I been feeding pea for like 5 days she got no much issue except that when she ia resting she tilt forward down or floats. But during the feed, she swims and snatch food the fastest. I wonder if it some kind of baterial issue or digestive coz on the outer it look exactly fine😢

Ive 4 golden fishes, and 2 Scavenger Fish. One of scavenger fish had Swim Bladder Disease.

I have a Molly fish with swim bladder

Was the Epsom salt instructions removed? I don't see them linked below.

I can’t find any links that he mentioned can anyone help?

My fantail has been developing this disease for about a year. I didn’t have him until about 6 months ago (I was pregnant with health issues and had to give them to a foster home for a bit, due to the fact that it was so urgent I didn’t have very many options) but I noticed he got increasingly fat after his foster home. I thought he was a SHE and pregnant with eggs. Definitely no eggs as I tried to hand express them. No eggs were dropped. Well today I finally noticed that he was sitting verticle……. That made my heart drop because I already know as a fish owner of 2 years (I also do hella research because I’m obsessed with the ecosystem and animals that live in tanks) that a verticle fish is not a healthy fish. My fish is only 2 years old. I’ve taken excellent care of him up until his foster home. Just trying to figure it out so I can save his little butt.

My twin genetic fish is having issues, but I am going to try and relieve him of his illness, he has definitely been gulfing air, but I am going to relieve the pressure and see how he does!!! My water is perfect but he has been swallowing air for a while, I am going to "vent" his swim bladder!!!

HAIL MARY!!!!

I don't own goldfish but... Who knew fish bois were so cute man. Sheesh.

Lol your goldfish reaction every time you bring your hand near the tank😂😂😂😂

What if my fish doesn’t want to eat the green pea?

Need help my oscar plz

“It could be genetically wanki”. One of the first Ranchus I got was a floater and it was an issue with her babies. Thanks for so much great info.

Nar mate you didn't do anything wrong all you did was buy deformed fish. But normal goldfish and you will rarely ever have this problem. Soak the sinking pellets first

My goldfish is 1 and he has that I'm praying that this works FYI my first ever pet and a black Moore goldfish

My tank started to become a little dirty and a day ago my tetra was swimming up and down in various directions. However, today I have noticed that my fish has completely stopped moving and it upside down. Is this due to swim bladder disorder or has my fish passed away?

you kinda sound like "the bearded mechanic" guy.

Adding salt is really helpful

You are very good looking. Its hard for me to believe you know your stuff. I get this treatment a lot, I'm not usually on the other side of it. You could make money acting if you develop the basic skill set. I'm going to use some more cucumber (in the tanks, not to "increase my stage presence") we keep a quarantine tank, and a hospital tank, but they aren't planted, and small. The peas ..cool idea. I'm seeing if a small aloe will grow at the top that might help. We use grow lights, so far so good, except it breeds algae fast. we have a clawed frog tank that's the euthanasia tank. The slow ones stand no chance. Many guppies and zebra fish have survived, but they are well fed, and I'd say poor hunters lol. Thanks for the info. You actually seem pretty cool and knowledgeable there is a stigma to being nice, good looking and funny. Way to break it.

Has anyone tried a syringe to remove gas/air?

My last gold fish died suddenly it was in good condition then with in one day it became very dull and it about to die still it was not bloating it’s was looking healthy fish. I still don’t know the reason of sudden death
