adamh Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 This is the third angel in this tank to have this. First one was a few weeks ago, everyone else seemed fine. Developed a bloated abdomen, passed after three days. Second one did the same thing last weekend, and now a third one is doing the same. 78 degrees 25 nitrate 0 nitrite 0 ammonia 200 ppm gh 80 ppm kh 6.8 ph 0 chlorine no new fish or changes, any ideas?

adamh Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Had them since New Years (from reputable breeder) nickel size. They are just reaching breeding age, so don’t know if it’s related to maturing. Nothing new to tank. Feeding xtreme community/pee wee and frozen bloodworms(rotating schedule, the angels pretty much ignore the flakes). Same feeding schedule for months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same feeding schedule for months It could be internal bacterial infection causeing the bloating what I would do is Qarantine and treat with seachems kanaplex and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons the salt will reduce the fluid buildup Edited June 29, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudofish Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 @Colu you need a signature stating 1 tablespoon per 2 gallons lol. J/K you know your stuff, it's kind of cool how many things can be treated with aquarium salt really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedcJon Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think this is happening to my Dwarf Gourami. See the pictures. One is much lighter than the other and had been for at least a month but just in the past few days has developed huge bloating. I have had them both for over a year.

BenA Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Read 10.15. Dwarf Gourami Disease (aquariumscience.org) Might be something that you don't want to read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laritheloud Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 @CedcJon Yeah, I'm sorry to say, but I don't think your dwarf gourami will be with you for much longer. 😞 It's so sad, and I'm really sorry they're sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
