When I came home today(not home) I found my golden barb's tail underneath the driftwood like he was floating under there...thing is I swore I saw his tail move around
We picked up the driftwood and he was STill alive with his head stuck in the driftwood(hole??)...
He can barely control his swimbladder so I want to get a breeder box, so he won't be floating all around cause of the filter...but I don't know how long hes been there

Nvm he can barely swim around, but his swim bladder seems under control(not floating around the top of the tank)

So should I euthenise him or get him a breeder box?
I dosed some melafix to help his wounds, which are all over his body

...thanks for any replies...

can't get a breeder box

So I'm leaning towards euthanasia

He has white areas(like burn marks) on both sides of his body, and one of his eyes doesnt look too good
