Dont know what to do :(

My firemouth has had swim bladder disease for more than a month now. Ive been hand feeding him since he first got it. He still has a ton of energy, but he cant swim upright so he drags himself along the rocks. I moved him into my smaller 10 gallon tank because my larger fish began to pick away at him. Now he just lays on the corner until I stick my hand in the water and then he swims around on his side. I really dont know what to do. Ive been feeding him peas for weeks and it doesnt seem to do anything although his colors have came back. He still cant swim right. I raised the temp too. Should I euthenize(sp?) him? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi evaDicxelsid...

First off..im sorry to hear about your Firemouth. It always a frustrating thing having a sick fish. Try feeding him some live foods..such as fry or small guppys. I personally wouldn't euthanize any of my fish...I just try to provide them good water conditions and the proper medications when called for and a little TLC. Either way its a sad story...but id give him a chance!
