Tank size: 60ltr
pH: 7.6
ammonia: 0
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 50
kH: 180
gH: 250
tank temp: 25
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behaviour):
One 'glowlight' Tetra looks bloated and is "swimming" inverted, much of the time looking like he's floating. Gills and fins are still moving so I'm sure he's alive. If he were a goldfish I would describe his movements as very bad swim-bladder problem (from how I've heard it described). Have tried putting peas in the tank for the fish, all the others seem to go for them but I don't know if the target fish can get down to them.
Could someone advise the best course of action to get this fish back to normal please?
