What caused my fish to die with a bloated stomach and upside down?

Question

Sofro died today and her stomach was bloated. We had her for almost three years. She was inactive and slept a lot and she ate slowly. Is she old? And could it be swim bladder when she died? She was upside down when she died. Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Female | unspayed

I am sorry to hear about it. Altered buoyancy is usually due to a swim bladder infection/inflammation. Possible abdominal tumors can often cause these problems as well. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
