Sick fish

M fish keeps getting swimbladder (I think). Treatment sometimes works
but it always comes back. Now he's lying very still and trying to hide
in the tank at the bottom. I've tried changing 2/3 of water, adding
salt & swimbladder stuff but he's been like this now for days. He's
always been a sickboy & the other fish is fine. Is this the end for
him? what can I do? I'm new to keeping fish, should I get used to them
dying?

Keep trying to treat him until it looks too late.

NO! Fish sometimes get sick and die like all creatures. Don't get too
bummed out about it. It happens to ALL OF US. IF he dies get another but
make sure it looks healthy before buying it.

Hang in there!
