I have an anthias with a swim bladder issue that has been swimming head down. Two weeks ago I vented her but did not remove enough gas. She healed up fine, but still had a bloated swim bladder and buoyancy problems.

Tonight I tried again and I overcompensated. She dropped like a rock to the bottom of the tank and her belly is actually a bit concave. She has stayed in the same spot since I put her back and is breathing a bit labored.

I know there is not much more I can do but wait and see; I just wanted to ask if anyone else has had the same experience and get a feel for what the recovery outlook is.
