Hi

I have my first bloated discus , never come across this problem before . I thinking of making a start with epsom salts in the morning if the fish is still badly bloated.
Anyone got any advice about this problem.

Use the Epsom salt! What are you waiting for? Frank

Yep, epsom salt is the stuff for bloat. What have you been feeding? how often?

The sooner you use it the sooner your dicsus will get back to normal. It does not hurt the other fish, your filter or anything else in the tank.

Hi all

The epsom salts did the job :D , she is back to normal. i feed my fish beaf heart mix , blood worms and :D brine shrimp once a day ,tetra bits 4 small feeds a day and live white worms and earthworms once a week. The bloating started after the last feed of white worms.
