NEED HELP!!!

[Jerome26]

Hi guys!
My fish have stop eating since last week.
White poops and can’t swim properly since last week.
We have moved him to a small tank reduce water to destress added abit of salt and Paraclear “anti white poo and bloated bladder” to the water with 32C temperature...
He have become smaller but the stomach still the same....
Really don’t know what to do...

 

[Jerome26]

Is there anyway to save him... or?

- first off get that heat down! 82F or 28C is high enough
- get good aeration in the tank
- reduce light to dim or no light
- add Epson salt (not aquarium salt) this can help with bloating/constipation
- he could have an internal parasite (treat with levamisole)
- don't bother trying to feed, its only going to pollute the water when he doesn't eat it

Alright have reduce the temperatures already but does theparaclear helps?

 

[philipraposo1982]

did you dose the recommended amount and follow instructions correctly? I am not family with that medication but it is definitely possible that it could help.

 

[philipraposo1982]

I tried looking up that medication but I can't find out what the actual medical ingredient is. Without knowing that its hard to say how it will work. Also, you need to be able to diagnose a parasite properly to truly know how best to fight it.

How often and what were you feeding this fish prior to him starving himself?

Make sure the epsom salt is pure magnesium sulfate, no additives. One tbsp per 10 gallons (dissolve in tank water first) . I would add half first, then add the rest after around 12hrs.

What's the active ingredient in paraclear?

 

[KeepsWaterAndSomeFish]

I have never used it sorry. Am I right in assuming when the pictures were taken you were syphoning water from the main aquarium? I would place a small biofilter and move the heater so he doesn't have actual physical contact and get burnt, if he will be spending time in that aquarium.

Sorry for my post I see you've already tried to look up the active ingredient. Don't dose with levamisole it's to harsh and it won't really help with the internal parasites he might have. I had success with a combo of kanaplex and metronidizole. I think he could stand to have a little more water in that tank.
