AquaRick Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hello, I currently have a guppy that has his bottom swollen in a light pinkish color but he able to poop and act normally. I don't think it's fungus but I not a expert in fish diseases. Is there any medication anyone will recommend or should I just use aquarium salt? Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

AquaRick Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Thanks Colu, I'll treat it with salt and see the result. Does it have to be Epsom salt or is API salt good enough too? Should I increase the concentration of salt in one week if it doesn't improve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaRick Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Looks like Epsom Salt(magnesium sulfate) work differently compared to API aquarium salt(Sodium Chloride) so it looks like I have to buy Epsom salt then. Thanks Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
