My dwarf gourami has swim bladder problems (probably due to over feeding, my fault). His spine is slightly bent and he's head down when he rests. He's able to swim normally, is still active, looks for food and chases the other fish. For the past 2 days I've been feeding green peas. He hasn't gotten worse. My question is: how long can he go on like this and what else should I do?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
