Bloated uneasy goldfish

[GT4 Thug]

The wifes fish , which has had swim bladder problems early on its life with
us has started to behave strange.

At the time on its last water change we presumed it was gaining weight as it
has always been a little on the sickly side, compaired to mine ( they were
bought the same time but had to be seperated as mine seemed to bully it when
its swim bladder gave it jip)

But on re tanking it nothing improved, it 'jumps' and 'dives' in and out of
the tank, its fin is still upright and it did seem to eat.

We then looked and fed it peas for 2 days as it looked like it was
constipated to which it passed solids on the day but nothing more

We then used frozen bloodworm , which the local pet shop advised, to which
it ate but still the same symptoms, we were told it has trapped air in it
and it need s to be released.

Its now on day 2 of the worms and it still looks off its food but in general
happy but still has the traits mentioned above.

Any ideas what we have missed or how to help little 'fags' ?

Cheers

Stu!

You could try a medicine for swimmbladder or dropsy.
