bloated discus

[ValorG]

my fish that i just got yesterday looks like he always has a big belly even though he hasnt eaten anything. Im guessing this is bloat? if it is or not plz tell me how to treat this.

Hi,
It wouldn't hurt to try some epsom salt at 1 to 2 tblsp /10 gallons.

Being this is a new fish, maybe its that way all the time, but try the epsom salt for 2 days.

hth

ill try and get epsom salt, dont really know where to get it though. oh and my fish is eating if that helps in anymore suggestions.

[KARINA]

you can get that in any pharmacy store like ride aid or CVS

ok now ive tried epsom salt in case der was a food blockage and Disco-Worm unless it was internal parasites. so far no luck :\ im going to try for bacterial now with kanacyn. if that doesnt work then what should i do?

That's about it for treatments.
