azul help!!!

[dudefish82]

hi
one of my azuls had a internal infection so i had to put him in a temp 10 gallon tank,now he is doing better should i put him back or should i wait a few more days until i put him with the other peacock bass. The azul is around 5inches so the 10 gallon is too small but iam worried if i put him back now he will struggle again

Why do you say internal infection? What did you treat with?

 

[dudefish82]

i didn't treat him used salt and lots of aeration not very keen on using meds. he is much better except his breathing hard, before he was upside down

they arrived 2 days ago one of them is doing good the current one in the small tank is now swimming around only a matter of time before he joins his friend

I would keep him under observation for at least 5 days. If it is some type of infection or parasite induced problem, I wouldn't think it would clear itself up that quickly. Just my .02.

Prazi Pro is a great safe med for internal, very safe and effective

thats true but only for parasites, never hurts to dose new fish with it regardless. I always do anyhow.

Has the zul been eating and does it pass any strange looking feces?

 

[dudefish82]

thanks guys for the help, unfortunately in Srilanka we do not have prazi pro, but at least his swimming around. I didn't try feeding him yet but do you guys think market prawns is fine for him?

I assume you mean poop well it looked kind of stringy dark poop, but then again i have not seen pbass poop before except for yesterday
