Taco Playz Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 That looks like a prolapse. I would ask @Coluon how to treat it because I’ve never seen a prolapse in one of my aquariums but I’ve seen it happen in others aquariums. I hope your fish gets better!

Colu Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 What I would do is epsom salt bath 1 table spoon for 2 gallons for no more than 15 minutes 2-3 times a day epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxants help to reabsorb the prolapse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeg Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Salt is good like what @Colu said but I am curious on the white line sticking out from the prolapse. I am concerned that you may have callamanus worms. Does the line retract into the body when the fish moves actively? Is it just a piece of fecal matter? Are you able to send more photos? In sever cases of prolapses, I have been unsuccessful with treatment as I did not address the issue causing prolapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) @Keeg I’ll try to get some better pics. I moved her in to a tub so it’s a lot harder to get pics now. God I hope it’s not callamanus. I’ve been hearing horror stories ever since I got in to the hobby! Edited August 1, 2021 by Phillip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
