Baby Senegalus with a huge belly

[Cohazard]

What sort of dosage did you use when using salt as treatment?

 

[Andri Pogo]

around 20 tbsp, i was told to use 1 tablespoon for each 5 liter.
But it looks like i got wrong directions of how to use the Ich meds, gonna find out tomorrow

I've always used 2tsp per gallon (sorry I dont' know metric...yet), gradually by adding 1/4 tsp per gallon once an hour, for eight hours.

I leave it like that for two weeks, then do a huuge water change, and the problem is gone.

yeah thats about similar amount of salt...

but here is a pic of the two baby senegals:

did you open their belly to find the problem? looks like it might have develop bloat, the second one looks like it was getting red too

 

[Andri Pogo]

That's what i was thinking.

I fought bloat and in my tank not too long ago. I lost my all time favorite oddbar clown loach (double saddle and two spots).

But luckily I used Maracyn 2 and saved my blue dempsey.

the redness is most likely a sign of Hemorrhagic Septicemia-Anne
