My fish has ha trouble swimming for close to two months now. It started with "corkscrewing" and has progressed to the point where she looks like a balloon. She just floats upside down at the surface. I posted a few weeks ago and tried everybody's suggestions(i.e. peas, fasting, raise water temp., put grains of salt in peas, gel food, soak food, spectrogram medicine, etc...). The water quality is fine in all departments. Her stomach seems like it is getting bigger by the day now and it makes me feel like I should poke a needle in it to release the pressure(she looks like she is going to explode). Even with all her problems it still looks like she is at peace. But now she can't go to the bottom of the tank to eat. I feed her the peas on a stick. Do you still think this could be swim bladder? I orderd interpet swim bladder treatment from Europe but I don't know if it will arrive on time. Any more suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Does her stomach feel hard to you, or mushy?

Her stomach is very mushy.
