RE: Angel can't stay at the surface
Before you rush out and destroy the fish, lets first try a few other
things. Often swim bladder is caused by a constitutional weakness,
chilling is one example, and a poor diet. If chilling is the cause,
warmth and a laxative of daphnia or live shrimp may give relief.
If constipation is the cause, this could cause internal pressure
against the swim bladder. Place the fish in a separate container
and add 1T Epsom salt per gallon. This should clean her out.
