My fish, Atlas I believe has SBD. I fed him a pea today and I was happy he ate it and now swims around freely and doesn't swim sideways anymore. I just want some opinions, if whether or not his tummy is still swollen..
The fish seems to be swimming fine and his behavior has not changed.
Opinions? Thanks!
