What can I do to help a fantail goldfish with swim bladder disease? :(

Is she in a pond or aquarium?

I would want to have the goldfish in an isolation tank to help with its recovery because I'm picturing it having a hard time eating and possibly getting stressed by other fish or picked on.

I have not had any experience of SBD so apologies if my suggestions are unhelpful.

Changing how you feed can help with swim bladder as they can sometimes swallow too much air I believe with some types of foods. What do you feed currently? If it's fish flakes definitely switch to a pellet. Frozen/thawed peas are often given to help with swim bladder too. I hope he's improved xx
