Hi there!
I have 4 Heckel x Turq 3-4" (Wayne Ng). 2 of them( the smallest) are kind of bloated since almost 7-8 days. One eats and the other doesn't. The others 2 doesn't show sign of anything. I add 1tsp/10 gallons, no changes. I made a 75% WC and I add 1½ tsp/ 10 gallons. Still no change.
All 4 of them were in a 25 gallons barebottom with 50% WC each night.
pH 7.6
Parameters ok all
I feed them 4 times a day with BW - ColorsBits (2)- Flakes.
Feces are brown and I think "normal" at least no white feces.
I would be very surprised if they have worms 'cos I often add few drop of garlic in the BW.
So yesterday, I isolated the 2 bloated in hospital-tank and make a treatment of epsom salt (2 tbs /10gallons - WC of 45% after 4 hours) I did not give anything to eat. They excreted very thin and tranlucide filaments which stucked a little everywhere on their body and filter-sponge. No solid droppings left from there. Their belly is still swollen but a little less. I am really perplexed, I hope that someone will understand what occurs. The others 2 do not show any sign of nothing yet. I have the idea to start to nourish with a little spiruline with garlic. What would you do?
Merci.
