Need help with this...

[DN328]

Can someone tell what this is coming out of my little severum? I remember reading another post with this but can't find it.

Ive had it for a couple weeks. 0, 0, 10ppm water parameters fyi.

What action is required if anything? Thanks all.

Looks like a prolapse...dose epsom salt in tank and soak food in epsom but cut down on feedings

Thanks. It, along with a few new severums had ick. I cranked up the heat to 88F and added salt. Ick seems to be gone. I was going to start drcreasing the heater tomorrow as its been 10 days.

Should I leave as is and cut down on feeding?

I basically had added 1 tablespoon per 5 gallon. Does it have to be epsom salt added tor the tank?

If so Ill have to do another WC and add epsom. Thanks all.

Yeah Epsom Salt is what you want. Not aquarium salt. Hopefully RD. will chime in.

Looks like prolapse. Can cont with the Epsom salt 1 tbsp per 5g. It’s has to be Epsom salt as the others have mentioned. Food needs to be soaked in a Epsom salt solution. Once it’s rescued completely I’d treat with a round of kanamycin.

Here’s a good thread on what to do and expect.

Prolapsed anus/rectum in cichlids

Anyone ever dealt with this in a fish? I got a couple rescue fish a few weeks ago I am trying to fix up: a port acara that was severely emaciated and sunken in, with a bad case of HITH and also rainbow cichlid with no outward signs of problems that had been living in the same tank. I have them...
