Treating Bloat with Clout. Is quarantine necessary?

[Poekin]

Marius is probably correct. No one messes with this guy, the tank is actually quite peaceful. However, when he was his normal, active self, whenever i put food in the tank he ate WAY more than anyone else. He was just way faster than the frontosa.

Add another table spoon of epsom salt.

If you do decide to feed him again soak the food in metro and feed him that way it gets to where he needs it most.

Unfortunately they little guy died this weekend.

I think that i was just too slow in treating him. I noticed/thought that he was acting oddly and that something was wrong, but I didn't act right away... partially because i didn't know what to do and what exactly to look for.

Thanks for everyones help and suggestions though. The good news is that i learned alot about tropheus and how to look for and treat bloat.

I'm sorry for your loss man, but please don't keep anymore Tropheus, unless you build your setup "around" them.

I won't be keeping another unless it's a colony tank.
