Well these guys are back to normal.
A couple had trouble passing the worms and got bloated. It took two tablespoons per 10 gallon of epsom salts for 24 hours and had to repeat a second time.
They got through it fine and seem to be doing much better. Appetites have improved again. Still feeding beefheart/shrimp mix, flake and pellets.
Water changes have been the same plus a couple extra deep water changes after the epsom salts to help them pass worms.
Got a few pictures of them the last couple of days. I feel even more attached to these guys after what they have gone through. Good to see them feeling better. :):)
