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.
bro..gfs can survive in the wild..when i stayed for a period of time in jurong, i always go to the lakeside area..chinese garden park to fish for shrimps with my pop..and guess what..one particular day an oranda was happily swimming in the vast huge pond..that was many years ago..i guess with the blatant act by some aquarists of releasing unwanted flowerhorns..such rare occurances like this have dissappeared entirely..of course i disapprove of releasing gfs into such conditions as well.
