Problem
1. Please explain the problems with your fish. When did you notice the problems and did anything unusual happen that you think started them?
About two days ago, I notice the fish wasn't as active as usual, it stayed at the bottom and showed no interest to the FDBW. I moved it to QT the same night. Yesterday, I noticed it has swollen belly, applied epsom salt, but didn't help
2. Symptoms (i.e. turning dark, excess slime, not eating, clamped fins, flashing, darting, clamped gills, white/yellow/green poop, hiding, headstanding or tailstanding, white on tips of fins, rotting or fungus, blisters/white zits on fish, bloated, cloudy eyes, wounds).
Swollen belly, tube stick out, won't eat, but I see some poop at the bottom of the tank after I added epsom salt last night
3. What medications/ treatments have you already tried and what were the results. Include dosage and duration of treatment.
Epsom salt, Api furan 2
