Very Fat Discus

[Yvonne]

Hi Eddie
I have an albino discus who is eating very well and acting normal. However, he as had a huge stomach for over a week. I thought he just had eaten a lot but now I'm wondering because I haven't been feeding over the last 3 days and he is still looking extremely fat. Do you know what this could be? Please let me know. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello Yvonne,
Just saw your thread, You could try some Epsom Salts, have a feeling your fish has bloated (Constipation) should do the trick.

Try adding 1 tbsp of epsom Salt per 10gal of tank water. If this doesn't help try 2 tbsp the second day. Don't feed it while still bloated like that. Can you post a pic of it?
