Hey you guys it's been years since I've been active 100% on here. Been keeping fish (monster fish) for over 10 years. I haven't had to treat a fish for sunken belly in several years. What I normally do is take the fish out of the tank and onto a wet towel mix general cure and Epsom salt in a pipette and syringe it through their mouth past their gills into their stomach. Is this still one of the best methods or is there another method out there that's better. I'm treating my Rio mag umbee. As you can see by the pic his belly is slightly concave and his colors aren't what they used to be. He has been like this for a couple months ever since I fed him a whole crawfish. I just havent decided if I wanted to get invasive with treatment. I've tried daily 25-50% water changes and Epsom salt in the tank/soaked food in vitachem and epsom salt. He still eats but he eats considerably less then a fish his size should eat. He looks small on video and pictures but he is 14"+ the tank is a 240 gallon. Any input or feedback would be appreciated. I'm not a novice just seeking out if there is a new better method to treat this then my ways of the past.
