Is the fish bloated and what do you feed the fish.
Has the fish been swimming in the same spot but not getting anywhere.

the fish is not bloated atall i feed the fish tetramin flakes and every couple of days blood worm (the frozen ones) and as for swimming not really much

 

[WILDER]

Bad diet to high pretein.
Need a variety of frozen foods and veg.
Try some shelled peas on him.

ok thanks do you mean like a tin of peas ie garden or summat?

 

[WILDER]

Frozen peas are the best, boil for a few minutes, let them cool down, pop out of shell, mush between fingers and add to the tank.
Livebearers need veg in there diet, to many dried foods lead to contipation and swim bladder.

Feed peas twice a week keeps them going to the toilet, good luck.
