cory fry floating

Give it some time, im wondering if maybe he swallowed too much air and hasn't figured out how to regulate it.

Cories breathe air and utilize that oxygen through their intestinal tract. I dunno if you've ever gotten the chance to see it, but they often fart out the excess air. Its plausible this guy just hasn't figured out how to regulate the air control.

Basically, a more in detail version of what Colin said.
 
I'm not sure.

Hes obviously eating something at this point... but you may need to consider euthanizing if he doesn't improve as he may start to suffer.

Do you have photo or video?
 
I really hope he gets better. Here's a few pics.

you know, that's some major bloating


Have you tried an epsom salt mix? Could do a very brief bath or soak feed in it...
 
After I did the Epsom salt bath he looked much better and his stomach was barely swollen. A few hours later though it's the same as the first pics and his stomach has swelled up again. Is this normal? will multiple epsom salt baths help him?
 
I've done the Epsom salt baths and he was looking much better although still floating upside down. I haven't seen him eat for 3 days now. He's starting to look really skinny compared to my other healthy cory fry.
