Lineatus Wrasse with Swim Bladder

xionggotstyle · Jul 20, 2019

I've ordered a Lineatus wrasses. Went thru the whole QT procedure. 3 weeks in and the fish developed swim bladder disease all of a sudden. He has no other illness. Looks healthy and his eyes are moving around looking at his surrounding. Under the recommendation of my LFS, I threw him in a Tanklimate Acclimator box. This was to help prevent him from gulping air. He's been upside down for about a week now in the acclimator box. I've fasted him for 4 days and also did a magnesium sulfate dip for 30 mins as a laxative. Still he is upside down. He is thinning down but doesnt look as bad yet. Any recommendations is appreciated. (I dont really want to try to vent his bladder).
