Beautiful fish - sorry for the loss. I have a similar sized Jack (though not as pretty) that just came down w/ boat as well and clear stringy poo - giving him the epson salt in food treatment - hopefully that will work for him. He is still eating, which is good, but really bloated.

Thats a real shame, sorry for your loss.

What causes the bloat? anything learned that you can share?

 

[JakeAlmighty]

very sorry for your loss. beautiful fish

aside, do you know where he came from? looking for high quality JDs soon to start breeding

(electric blues here we come...)

Wow, what a beast! So sorry for your loss
I lost my guy to bloat as well, almost a year ago ): woke up one morning and his belly had swollen and looked like he swallowed a marble - all in a day or two
such an awful feeling

Your guy was absolutely stunning, would love to see more pictures if you have them
