You know Carole,I owe you an apology. What a moron I am, first off I am trying to kill your fish with kindness and the wrong type of salt and I dont even ask how YOU are feeling.Please excuse my manners. I read epsom salts will help draw it out as opposed to table salt which will add to the bloat, petfish.net I think it was, its good for the fish but is somewhat stressful so it suggested a coupe of dips per day and the fish will show fast improvement. a good read and again I'm sorry, I hope I'm not becoming one of those people I cant stand cause I dont know how well that would work out.

Thanks everyone. I am still a bit under the weather. Zen is still prone on his side.
James, it's ok..I only use aquarium salt that is good for freshwater use.
I am an old woman who has kept fish long before you probably were swimming.
I have started adding a bit of tea made from Indian Almond leaf. Tomorrow we will try a pea or two.

 

[Birdiemarie]

What does the tea do, Carole?

I have some good news! Today, I captured Zen in a net. I put the net and set it at the top of the tank, with the handle resting on top, so he was only in a few inches of water. A few hours later I fed him some live worms. He was upright all day, resting in the net. I just let him loose for a little bit, and he is doing about 90% better! I think keeping him in the net has flipped his swim bladder back over as it should be. I just put him back in the net, and will keep him there on and off for the next few days. But this is very very promising!

That is great to hear! I am so glad that it seems that he will be fine!
