Bloat battle (day to day)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
30% WC today with epsom salt treated water. Addrd more prazi. Water temp at a constant 85 to 87 degrees even when doing WCs. The bigger beani is looking the worse of the 2. Still alert but is still swollen and showing a wierd color pattern that I have yet to see on them. Still white stringy crap coming out of them and no interest in feeding.....
 
Just wanted to share my finger carnage. Still doing water changes with it...... Pics taken with phone in the ER....

That weird color pattern could be a really bad sign.

Yeah man Ive braced myself for the worse......Like I said I just hope 1 of them makes it....
 
Yeah well for all of my efforts the beanis are not looking so good today. Not laying around but just hovering lazily. Still looking attentive but the bigger one has changed into a funky darker color scheme. Both are looking swollen and are constantly trailing a stream of white kite string. No WC today as Im working at the bar all day. But I am geting a cycled 10g tank from a friend. Its time to QT 1 or both of them and start another type of treatment (I just hope that its not too late). Im thinking the metro, epsom salt, 80% WCs with really warm water in a 10gallon treatment. Its the last resort.......
 
Good luck man.
 
Placed the 2 infected beani in a 10g QT tank treated with epsom salts, prazi, and metro (jungle tabs). Temp at 86F. Im going to do 80% WCs starting tomorrow. Might be a good idea to put in a separator when I can get 1. For now they are mellow. Im guessing no time for aggression when thety are fighting for their lives....
 
50% WC on the 10 gal QT tank. Re added epsom salts and metro/prazi tablet. Tank heated to 86+. Little noticeable change. Fish do look a little less swollen. Still not eating.
 
Have you tried nematol? My EBJD had white poo so I put it in, turned up the temp, added salt and within 4 hours he had perked up. This was Sunday and today he is pooing normally.

This stuff is made by Sera and it is for nematoids etc.
