Sick Red Phantom :(

[Beanlekin]

I went out yesterday, came home a couple of hours later and one of my previously healthy red phantoms was lying on the bottom of the tank. I've put him in an isolation tank but he doesn't look good He can kind of swim but when he does he's completely upside down. Other than that he looks completely normal. Anything I can do? The other fish are all healthy. I have 6 neons, 5 other red phantoms and 2 bristlenose plecs. I change 25% of the water and do a gravel vacuum twice a week and my water stats are good. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear about your Phantom, I'm no expert but it sounds like swim bladder disease. I know cooked crushed peas squeezed from their skins are recommended. Don't feed it anything else for a couple of days. I would isolate it so you can control the intake of pea. Good luck.
