Question
flower horn bloated
My name is Mahesh from India,
My flower horn bloated he is not eating food from past 5 day. 3 day ago it started to sleep in the bottom of the tank like humans sleep. Its body color becomes dark. It was not swimming properly. So I consulted local aquarium shop they gave me Flower horn medication from OCEAN FREE BRAND (FOR WHITE SPOT, SLIME AND VELVET AWAY). And told me put 15ml in aquarium in first day and remove 50% water daily and add 7ml ocean free medication and fill the water in aquarium daily. But after using the ocean free medication my fish started floating in top of water it has Bulged Abdomen bulged portion out of water. Abnormal breathing and dark body coloration. I again consulted the local fish shop dealer he tells not to feed any food and continue the treatment for another 15 day.
Please guide me in this matter
Thank you ..
AnswerMahesh,
NO DO NOT CONTINUE TREATMENT. Never treat a fish with medication unless you know 100% what's wrong. If he is bloated there is a good chance it is just Swim Bladder Disease. This can be helped by simply fasting the fish for 2 days and then feeding it a cooked unshelled pea, and then fasting again for 2 days. Remember to not feed him the shell of the pea because he cannot digest it. Do a very large water change so that you can get some of the medicine out of the water.
