Treating "Bloat" aka Spironucleus

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hey my ruby is the same way. He looks like hes going to pop, but acts fine and eats great, i think its just the fish. Hes been like this for 5 months, so if it was bloat or something else he would have died long ago.
 
Yes. I am trying this on a pike cichlid now.

Can this be used as a preventive measure? I have a colony of petros flametails, one of 15 kigomas, and a couple varieties of tropheus.

In extreme cases, the oral solution could be administered to a fish via a pipette.Just make sure to use a flexible tip so as not to damage the fishes esophagus when squirting the solution down the fishes throat. Only a small amount is required, but repeat daily until the fish is accepting pre-soaked pellets, and continue treatment for 5 days.

RD, I may be at this point with my 10" alpha male gibberosa. What is a pipette and I'm am trying to visualize how far down into his mouth/throat I should go? Do you penetrate the mouth-throat orifice area and how far?

Thanks,
Russ

A pipette is basically the soft tube one gets in aquarium test kits. Any type of baby syringe will work. The tubing itlf needs to be soft, and slightly pass the mouth area, or meds will simply spill out the gills.
