Well, it seems now i have 2 fish w/bloat. I can't figure this out. I now soak my tb's so i can avoid this. What would cause this? The bully, 1 of 2, has it now. It looks like the smaller on may have it. Soooo, i treated the whole tank. I put 12 tbsps in my 75 gal. I noticed this when i woke up. Since i have to work, i treated them now. I hope my cories will be okay. It won't hurt them will it?
thanks:(

No it won't hurt the corries. Persistant bloat is unusual, though it does happen. Hopefully the "salts" you added (hopefully epsom :o) will resolve this time. I would suggest feeding smaller amounts spread about the tank, maybe more frequently (if poss) or take a little longer when adding teh food.
