Yep, one of my neons has suddenly got a case of swim bladder disorder :(
I'm sad because everything was fine in that tank for the past few weeks.
 
He's eating like a pig and I think that's what caused him the issue.
 
I fed him bloodworms today in hopes to get his issue fixed.
 
Symptoms: He's sinking, struggling to swim on top.
 
Catched it yesterday night while hunting for my damselfly nymph.
 
Seems to be doing fine today, he's having issues eating, spits out the food, but he's no longer sinking.
 
I'm not sure if it's the same one, but he's started doing it again!
 
How is his appearance otherwise?
 
The general treatment for swim bladder is usually to not feed them for 2-3 days to give them a chance to clear their system.  Daphnia is a good thing to try feeding them as well afterwards.
 
He's looking all right! I'll try not feeding him for a while.
 
I found him this morning, he died :(
