What is wrong with my Lap?

[Vettech716]

She's been fine all day and I just went to turn the light off for the night and she's swimming with her butt in the air. She can't put it down without it going back up. She did grab a pellet just now when I fed the 3 of them.

I should add I did a water change earlier and put a hang on back filter on the tank versus the sponge filter that was in it. But nothing else has changed.

This happens from time to time on pellets. It's usually gas/air bubbles inside of them and it normally pass out of it's system within 24 hours.

You can add epsom salt if it gets any wworse or to just help it pass quicker.

Aside from her butt in the air she was swimming and did eat. She's back to normal this morning.

Massivore pellets give my lap gas too. I stop feeding it too.

Whats the dosing again for Epsom salt... Queen B has a big air bubble in her butt.

5g per 1 tblspoon, do 40% of your tank then do wc after 24hrs.
