My calico fantail, Pizza, has been living for 2 years 1 month and 11 day. A little while after we got him, he started floating upside down and hanging out like this by the filter, and acting weird. after this had been happening for about 5 months we went to Petco and asked why he was doing this and they told us he had swim bladder disease and would probably only live for about a day or so and we're like "No, you don't understand this fish has been doing this for about 5 months now!" They couldn't beleive it and said they'd NEVER heard anything like this before. Now he's been with us for over 2 years! He's been doing a little better recently and doesn't go upside down as often as he used to but every now and then he does. One time my friend was over and I was in the bathroom and she was all like "Oh I hate to tell you this but your fish is dead". and I'm like "no, he's just playing dead" and it's kind of become a little joke. My mom will go in the room and be like "Pizza's dead again". Lol! He has to be in a separate tank from Jalapeno and my next new fish (My other one, Achmed died today :'( ) because we were told they would pick on him if they thought he was vulnerable. I don't really like to play favorites with any of my pets but out of my fish, Pizza is my favorite. He's very entertaining. Whenever we clean his tank out, he comes right to the top to see us and freaks my mom out! Lol! My mom can't stand flopping fish and stuff like that

We haven't tried any medications, and we clean out the tank about once every few weeks
