spathodus dying of bloat...need help fast

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
just a little update guys, i've managed to put together a small set up for the little guy, have treated with epsom salt and metronidazole (hope i'm spelling it right). he's still alive and kicking, moving around a little more, breathing a little less rapidly. still looks pretty bloated, but even his color has come back slightly. I'll keep you guys posted, and thanks for the help. i'll post some pics of him if he makes it through
 
well, it finally happened...the little guys passed away yesterday. since i last posted he just got worse and worse, until i found him all but dead, scales popping out like a pinecone. I ended up euthanizing him finally, broke my heart. learned my lesson the hard way, i guess. he did great for a year, but in the end i made a bad decision putting him in with the other tangs that i did. next time it'll have to be a species tank. thanks for all the help guys
