Hey welcome to the forums

One of my cardinal tetra just died yesterday. Think it's swim bladder problem. Was swimming head down for at least 3 days before dying.

I take very good care of my fish, but I hate it when I see them sick. Sick fish is even harder to tend than healthy fish. Keeping healthy fish healthy is already a big challenge in itself. So whenever any of my precious fish show signs of any sickness, I will usually put it away quickly without fussing. Delaying will only mean more suffering for them.

A good quick way to do it is to put them into a plastic cup of freezing water and ice. It is cheaper than the clove oil method.
