Swollen belly - Green Severum

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have not fed it in 2 days. The fish are a breeding pair. They have had at least 3 sets of eggs before. But the whole fish is bloated. It has never looked like this before... Here are a few picsseverum 11-11.JPG

eyes are swollen. i'm going to say internal bacterial infection.
i think maracyn has medication... forgot if maracyn 1 or 2 is for internal (i think they call it gram negative bacteria).
dose as required. i had discus that had that bloated look with popped eyes before and used maracyn.
 
Deffinately not eggs, considering that He, is infact a male.

Looks like a internal bacterial infection, resulting in some bloating.

Treat with your local brand of meds (its different everywhere :)) and get the big fella on some greens to flush his digestive system out. Will do him the world of good.

Make sure he keeps eating to avoid an onset of HITH.
