How to cure a swim bladder infection?

Bad news guys, its been a couple of days and the clown has been fine, but I came home from work and saw him trying to swim down again, a couple of hours later and this has now moved to lying on his back..... Hopefully he doesnt have to go through the same thing again..... He actually ate some peas this time though.

 

I'm sorry to hear it bro.

 

Sucks cause from what I read not many fish survive it. Im sure the odds of surviving twice will be even lower..... But I will help him out best I can.

 

Sounds good. Any pics?

 

Will do in the AM. Its currently lights out. Check back in 12 hours .

 

Alright sounds good. I'll be watching.

 

Have got some photos of the poor clown but I cant upload them cause I got a new phone and I dont know how yet lol.

 

Looks like the guys pretty much going to be a gonner. Its getting traped under rocks often, is barely swimming, but floating upside down. This morning it even looked like it was going to be eaten by one of BTAs. Does not look like a happy fish atm.

 

That's depressing. Out of curiosity how much do they charge for a Clown in $A?

 

I paid $50 for him. He was tank bred. I also have another one, who is wild caught which cost me $70. (I actually thought they were both tank bred - turns out I was wrong).

A pair of tank bred is $90, and wild caught is $120. Varies for LFS to LFS though.

Thats AU dollars of course.
