I dont know what kind of fish it is but he is yellow. Anyhow, i woke up dismorning and my fish has a big balge coming out of his side. It almost looks like hes stomach exploded! He cant swim because its weighing him up. Hes still alive and i want to help him. WHATS WRONG WITH MY FISH??????
 
It is swimbladder disease. Kepep water quality high. I sujest you research your fish as many people keep goldfish and bettas in bowl and that may be causing the problem. Feed him cooked, crushed peas.
 
This sounds more like a tumor or a cyst. SBD is not a disease by a symptom of poor water quality and/or overfeeding where the swim bladder gets compressed and effects the fishes ability to swim correctly. what your describing sound more like a tumor or a cyst. Bot are not treatable right now. if it burst, and leaves a open wound, then you can treat the wound with antibiotics. Since you have no idea of what kind of fish you have, it's hard to really give good information back. I'll bet its a goldfish. if so, is it being kept in a unfiltered bowl or tank? under twenty gallons? if so, this has all impacted his health. If you can figure out what kind of fish you actually have, we, the community, can help you more.
