GF do not have a stomach and the food they eat goes straight into the guts. That is why they are never "full". 2 main preventions are i) feed small amounts many times a day (5 to 7 times), and ii) raise the GF in shallow water (10 inches and below recommended). I have never seen GF with swim bladder problem fully recover. The above steps will prolong its life and prevent GF from getting it but once inflicted, it will never be cured.
Have you tried feeding pea, a common recommendation in many of the forums.
