swimming downwards. it tries to swim down but it just ends
up floating back up...i can tell its annoyed by this

company could that be it? the pet store said it
wouldn't...i'm not sure what to do...i'm just worried for
my fish.

I tried the pea remedy, but the pieces are floating to the
bottom. What should I do? This is a friend fish, I'm takingcare
of while he is on vacation, so a quick response would be
appreciated. Thank you very much.
