Re: Sick Fantail - Swimbladder or something else?

Hi Suey
New to all this but answers to your questions as follows:-
The tank is approx 25 litres.
Charcole Filter
Tank has been set up for 3 1/2 years
I have not done any water tests as do not have this equipment.
The water is changed every one - two weeks, a full water change.
2 Fantails in tank, I black and the sick one..white with red head.
Ornaments are always in the tank only 2 at the moment but cleaned thoroughly on each water change.
I have added swimbladder treatment and aquarium salt as advised by pet shop.
The food I use is normally fish flakes and have been giving mashed up cooked peas since he has been sick, as read this was good for swimbladder on an internet site.
He has red streaks in his tail and has an orange colouring under his chin.
He has no fluff on him and his scales do not stick out like a pine cone.
I will upload a photo later
Thanks for your help.
