Thats awesome!!

Just an FYI for anyone interested... I just got a book in the mail today called "The Marine Fish Health & Feeding Handbook" On pg 194 to 197 there is a section on swim bladder disorders. Seems to be related to decompression issues, or viruses, bacteria, sporozoans, trematodes, protozoa and fungi. If the problem is because of decompression, there are some instructions on how to recompress the fish properly (nothing too unrealistic for a home aquarist too). When the fish is swimming upside down is when you have a real problem. When the disorder is not as severe it will swim with nose pointed down.

Everyone was giving you great advice on making sure no added stress was placed on the fish. Seems like with a mild case of decompression issue, over a period of time the gas exchange between the blood stream and swim bladder will even itself out. If there were added stress this process could be affected pretty easily, and complications / additional diseases could overtake the fish.

Glad everything worked out!
