Default Swim bladder/float issues in 12 yo Common

no.. I am talking about human quality but small, cheap, raw shrimp and chop em up.
feed small amounts. I am now completely convinced that most of the problems with GF
digestion and "floating" is due to feeding dry processed foods. Feeding the most
natural food for GF is best, and they eat zooplankton, like larval insects, worms,
snails, daphnia. It is just that they are very expensive to feed, altho a little
goes a long way.

and this is especially true to for fancy GF. The reason I am not thrilled with
frozen whole "fish" food is how it is raised and that it may be imported from places
that dont care about contamination. by getting human quality food (like I do for our
dogs) I am have some guarantee the food is wholesome. Ingrid

get at the pet store is good?
