Diagnose my female texas

[gamerpond1]

She has been bloated for weeks now she has in the past spawned three times and has regular skinny feces I've tried fasting her and putting her on peas but nothing seems to be working if anyone knows anything that would help I would greatly appreciate it

I would add 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of Epsom salt and treat for parasites immediately .

 

[Ponera]

broad spectrum antibiotics wouldn't hurt either.

 

[Aquanero]

Please post water parameters, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, Ph.

parasites can be obtained from just about anywhere. Live food is the worst . Stress can be another factor. There is a good sticky on how to rid all of your fish of parasites. If your texas begins to eat it would be a good idea to soak pellets in Epsom salt solution and feed them those for 10 days . That will help get rid of gut problems . If you want to go the medication route metro is a good medication, but on the safe side I would soak the food and feed all of the fish it so no other issues pop up. Aquanero knows a lot more on diseases and such but from my experience Epsom salt in the treatment tank will pull out the swelling.
