Fish floating can be due to over-feeding or
bacterial infection.

Does your food routine included peas? Veggie is also good as
these are fiber.

I used to have this problem of them floating aimlessly or upsidedown.etc all r swim bladder related it seem. All this until I stoped feeding for 2 days and started feeding them soaked pellets. Now all r back to normal so I guess it works for me.

Leave the peas in boiling water for a couple of minutes.
Then remove the outer shell as GF cant digest it efficiently.

Feed them to your GF for 3 days to flush their systems
Expect to see their 'poots' turns to dark green in color.

Pior to that remember to starve them for 3 days.


If floating is cure, remember to feed her peas regularly. *MUST*


If all else fails, use castor oil and soak some flakes into it.

When your GF is happy I am Happy

Remember to include high fibre food in your GF diet.
(e.g peas and most of the leafy veggie)

Anyone any idea if my black or white GF will change her color if I were to feed them lots of carrot?
Will they turn orange in color?
