hello im new on here and need some help about a week and half ago i added a female squamipinnis, i pretty sure it has swim bladder disease, as its been perfectly swimming and eating fine up untill yesterday where i started noticing laying on the sand bed and turning onto its side, my ammonia did spike yesterday due to a hermit crab molting and being at work i didnt notice till i got home but ive done water changes to bring it all down but what can i do to treat the squamipinnis? currently going into qt tonight, she is eating perfectly fine aswell

I'm not sure about your fish, but why would a hermit crab molt cause an ammonia spike? I always leave the molts in the tank. Something always eats them eventually.
