Blue Acara gill bubble

[Dylanhhhhhhh]

Help! My Blue Acara had developed a bubble on the underside of his gill. I have never seen anything like this before :s.

You can try an epsom salt bath for 30 minutes and see if that helps. You will need pure epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) with no other ingredients. Take a gallon or 2 of tank water, and place in a container with an airstone. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of epsom salt per gallon, and place the fish in there for about 30 minutes or once they start to act real uncomfortable, which ever comes first.

Hey, gave the little fella an epsom salt bath and the bubble is now visibly smaller. If it doesn't completely go away in a few days should i give him another bath, or just wait it out? Thanks for the advice.

You could give him another bath today if you want.

I would wait it out.
