Help! Endlicheri is constipated?

[Pomatomus]

My 4-5" endli ate a 2" celebes rainbow a couple of days ago. Now he's on his back and I think he's having trouble passing the meal.

Is there anything I can do? A fish laxative perhaps?

epson salt works dose like you would aquarium salt

 

[Pomatomus]

I used epsom salt, at 1 tsp. per gallon, then I read elsewhere that it should be at a much lower concentration than aquarium salt from a number of websites, so I did a 50% change.

But 6 hours later I lost the little guy. I think the meal ruptured something. I always assumed they could pass anything they could completely swallow, but I guess I know better now.

R.I.P.
