Flyin Jawaiian Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Aloha guys! Hope everyone is having a great start to their holiday weekend! So over the past few days I’ve been noticing one of my super red long fin plecos getting abnormally larger in the belly area compared to my others, it seems as if the stomach is enlarged to where it looks uncomfortable but the fish seems to be acting fine, I haven’t seen it poop nor really watch for that often but I’ve read online there’s salt baths, salt solutions, or feeding them peas? Any suggestions or experience on this would be very appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 3 gallons 2-3 times a day can help with constipation or egg bound fish as epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant as catfish are more sensitive to salt I would monitor for any signs of distress. During treatment and remove him if straight away if he showing any odd behaviour Edited November 25, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
