I know Liz you and i just finished going through this with another fellow mfker and now im going through it. I really hope we can save him. Weve done so much and our best to keep him so healthly. Our fingers are crossed.

I'm sure my peacock eel died of this and velvet
Sorry for youre loss, im really hoping we dont lose him but its not looking good, hes just at the top of the tank still in the corner.
i know you have done everything.. i just think it is something with these fish.. general health issues.. i sure hope he will be okay.. i wish you the best.freshwaterfishing;3563753; said:
Thanks again Liz, i notice now his belly is larger big time time and its like because hes so fat he cant go to the bottom now so hes been swimming back n forth up top, i think weve lost him but were still hoping.
just looked at him again too and i tried taking pics but because of where he is the lip of the tank is causing a shadow which makes the pics blurry but his poop hole is like the size of my pinky nail. Poor guy man.

Red poop is cuz of the pellets. The disease I'm talking about would be with his poop being white.
I would try the salt bath though. He's definitely backed up with a belly like that. I've had great results with salt baths.
Only one time I had an EB that his stomach was swelled up and the salt bath didnt seem to help. After he passed I cut his belly open and found a piece of gravel. Unfortunately nothing was going to save him.
Definitely give the salt bath a try. It will only be beneficial to him. With his stomach swelled up like that, if you dont do something or start trying, you're going to lose this fish. Good Luck!
Hes gone or will be gone any second i think im going to throw him in the freezer to put him out of his misery. Hes upside and has a belly the size of a golf ball. I cant get over how quick this happened.
