Fish bladder disease is an incurable genetic disease but a fish can live a happy life with it. However, certain factors can exaggerate the effects of the disease including a poor diet and poor water quality.

Constipation is a major cause and can be cured by not feeding your fish for a few days or if your fish is an omnivore, it can be fed greens like green peas or romaine lettuce.

High levels of nitrates are also a cause. Test your water for nitrates. Work on eliminating nitrates by adding live aquatic plants that feed on nitrates as well as doing regular water changes.
