I have a fish, a platy that seems to have a real problem,...I think that
it's a problem with it's swimming bladder[?], because it's constantly
struggling as it swims to stay level, bobbing upwards, and then

rank amateur like me can do to make things better for this fish?
Thanks! ~D.Q.

I have had several fish with the floatation problem. One lived about
a year. Talk about "will to live." I could not just kill them, I
respected their struggles.
