Banded Gourami Swimming Erraticly

[HEX]

hello, my banded gourami is swimming erratically.when he stops either below a rock or on top of the water you will see him temporarily floating on his side. he also looks like he is bloated at the belly a little on one side. ph 7.5,amonia 0 , nitrites 0 , nitrates 0. is there any hope for him or is he on borrowed time ?

Not good when they do this.
Epson salt bath to draw the fluids out.
What do you feed the fish.
To be honest chances of survival are very slim.

thank you , he was eating freez dried bloodworms earlier in the day before this happened. i should have soaked them before i fed them to him. today seems to be doing ok but i might remove him for a short saltwater bath.

To be honest frozen blood worms are better.
Don't feed them more tthan twice a week as they are high in protein.
Good luck.
