Help!

My ranchu has been swimming vertically with its head down.. It is eating well and no other sign of sickness except it keeps swimming vertically.. I tried increasing the frequency of WC and try starving it but none of this is helping..
This have been going on for the past 2 weeks, anybody can help me with this?

May I know r u feeding yr gf with floating pellet? If so, used only sinking type.

For these 2-3 days dont feed and keep water level low. Once they have this bladder prob,quite hard to recover back completely,only can minimize it.
Keep us update again.

only been keeping goldfish for a.short time, had a similar problem previously took the following steps and seem to solve the problem
1. feed only frozen green pea for day, and only one meal for the day.
2. added aqurium salt, previously 3 teaspoon per 2 feet tank, increase to 5 teaspoon.
3. the next day no food
4. pre.soak all pellet food for 5 to 10 mins and only feed sinking type

hope it helps
