Some people put them into a breeder trap or hospital tank so they dont get too stressed trying to swim upwards. moving them can stress them more though so prob best to just let him be, poor thing. Good luck x

What fish do you have as you could add some salt.
If he's hard breathing the med could finish him off faster.

Is it still eating? If so, there's a good chance he'll be okay. My molly had a swim bladder issue a few weeks ago, but still had an appetite, and was fine in a couple of days.

Constipation can cause swim bladder issues...try feeding crushed frozen peas (recommended to me by nmonks, they work wonders), and give him a couple of days.

Been through the peas with her.
