Dat in distress

[Jhawk974]

We had a large indo dat given to us with swim bladder disorder. My concern is the water that he came in had a real strong fish odor to it and you can feel a heavy slime coat on him. Is there anything I should do to help to get this guy healthy? The plan right now for swim bladder disorder is to fast for 48hrs and pea diet (if possible) for a few days.

Good water, no aggressive tankmates, and low lighting. Keep him calm and try the pea diet, its good for there digestive system too.

That's the plan but if he makes it thru the night I'll be surprised

The thing we do for our fish.

So how did it go ? Dat OK now ?

Nope I think there is just to much wrong with him to save. Besides swim bladder he has white spots on the edges of his eyes his body color is grey. Looks like he is ate up of bugs but when I try to treat for them he freaks out bad. Still not used the bathroom. Thinking about putting him down Friday. Feel bad thou he wants to fight to live

Don't give up, keep him calm, Jeep the water quality good, try adding some salt for a salt bath to help.

Been doing the salt daily and also daily water changes.

I have an NTT doing the same thing right now for the past 4 days. Not sure what is going on, but believe it has something to do with "datnoid disease"
