Thanks, appreciate your advice. Yes they are pretty "keen" eaters. Hopefully he will sort himself out. Thanks again..

Hi, 1 of my Silver dollars suddenly started floating upside down and struggling to not float to the surface yesterday. I assume its a swim bladder problem, probably caused by him gulping a mouthful of air whilst surface feeding (I know the are normally bottom feeders)? There is no sign of any other problems with his tank mates and no sign or paraste or other nasties. I have tried to get him to eat a boiled/shelled pea but he finds it hard upside down! He is hanging in there and seems ok, I have put a multi breeder over him at bottom of tank with a rock on it to keep him down as I figured he would soon get exhausted from struggleing to stay under, and to fast him (other than the pea). Has anyone got any other advice please...
