No need medication lah. Whenever you see your fish has any sign of SBD (flipping, struggling during swimming, floating or sinking), quickly remove it to a shallow tub (not more then half ft). Add 0.5% of salt with water change daily till it recovers. You have to do this before the stomach start deforming. Successfully cured a few but beware of relaspe (some GF are more genetically prone).
