johnny Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi all Any help would be much apreciated. One of my discus has a hugely bloated stomach and is is in constant swiming motion towards the bottom but only managing to stay in one spot. Will he come right? or will he simply get exhausted and float on up? What can I do/ add epsom salt? I don't want to lose him! Cheers in advance Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tHEcONCH Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Feed more bloodworms - heavily processed food (flake food) can get bunged up too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookey25 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Best thing you can give your fish is unprocessed food, as the above post said. Try buying some bloodworm from your local pet store and defrost a cube of it once a week. The BEST food out for fish bloating, constipation, swim bladder problems.. and just a good regular cleanse of their system (like Medimucal for fish).. is PEAS. Take a couple of frozen peas, put them in a bowl, use a small amount of boiling water to defrost them in a second. When they're thawed, take the outside skin off.. mash up the insides and feed to your fish. The majority of fish LOVE peas.. and they're so good for them. I feed my fish peas about once a week, as that flake food is highly processed and can regularly cause them to get bunged up. Let us know if there's any improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
