demasoni help!

I'd be trying a medicine that would treat bloat and I'd also be using methayline blue. I use this for most everything I treat. However. If it is bloat some other medications that I believe can used are things like metro and such. Turn out all light sources. No feeding. And raise the temp of the tank. If this doesn't work and it continues to not get any better. Well the call is yours.

I geT what your saying. What treatment would you treat the tank with? If you saw these symptoms

If treatment aren't working then yes. You took on the responsibility to take care of this animal. The same responsibility applies if treatments for curing disease aren't working. If you know you hurt, injured, etc. you go to someone who is sworn to an oath to take care of you. You are that person to this fish. Now in no way shape or form am I saying that you haven't provided a great home/environment for the fish but, if it's sick and nothing your doing is helping then you shouldn't make it suffer.

Omg are you serious I'm supposed to kill my fish? I don't know about that.

Peacefully euthanizing them.

What does putting the fish in the freezer doing?

How long have you been treating with any type of medicine? Salt is not a medicine, even though it can help in gill/ respiratory function and some dietary issues its not a medicine. If you haven't treated with any type of true medicine thus far. It's beyond the point of doing anything. If you have been treating with medicine and nothing is working, I have to recommend putting the fish in a bag of water and putting it in the freezer. It sounds like bloat but it also sounds like a parasite infection.

No it's not having any trouble at all. It's not swimming around alot like usual. Just sitting in one spot an then moving. I don't think she has eaten but she is getting bigger and bigger. I know in the next week it will probably die. I don't want it to. Probably no way of reversing it? I looked and I'm usuingthe aquarium salt. Is that the same as epsom? Does the aquarium salt help them or is it only harming the fish?

Is it having trouble swimming down or anything?

[leosoccerholic]

Sounds like dropsy

I have Texas holey rock. Crushed coral and some black sand. I just added the 400 gallon and that's when all the fish swam against the current including the demasoni and I looked at the demasoni one day and now it's stomach is turning white it is like stretching out. In a couple days I wouldn't be surprised to see it's scale popping off

[moganman]

Sounds like an infection. May not be bloat. May be a gas build up issue. What kind of substrate do you have? Feeding once a day with weekly water changes would minimize nitrates unless your filtration is severely deficient.

[curlymars123]

YeS I dechlorinate the water and I use tap

I didn't mean to sound like a jerk. I just wanted to put an emphasis on the questions asked. If you are adamant about success, then answering those questions would cut your learning time exponentially.

Yes I use epsom salt. Change my water weekly. Feed once to whey other day. I live in cypress. I don't use a carbon bottle. I haven't tested my waters today.(busy will put it on later) I don't have a picture of the one with bloat. But the first one it happened to befOre I moved his scales were shooting out like arrows and eventually one of his eyes got like super sized. So I took him out. But from that point when I moved from Austin I took all the wAter out. Did the whole moving thing. Lost a few. About four months ago I also had my ruby red lose mobility of his back half and then he slowly started to rott. But then again he was the only one affected by it(so I think)
