Stroy15 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 25 Ph: 7.2 Gh: 200-250 Kh: 100-120 Temp: 76 F Please forgive the algae in the tank. I think one of my white cloud minnows may be egg bound and experiencing abdominal swelling. I placed some Epson salt into the tank of a teaspoon for a 45 gallon and intend to give Epson salt baths. I have a normal looking female for reference. I just wanted to know everyone's else's thoughts. Everything else seems normal otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miska Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I am not an expert but egg bound would be my guess as well @WhitecloudDynasty do you have an idea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitecloudDynasty Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 She's egg bound, how many males do you have? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroy15 Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 I have 1, she is currently in an observation breeding net hospital and have been given a Epson salt bath and a aquarium salt bath on separate days. I will go and place the male with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroy15 Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Hello everyone, sorry its been 2 months, I report that there is no change in her condition, all of my 3 minnows have been hanging out in a 30 gallon hospital tank, where I have been still semi-regularly giving salt and Epson salt baths. I even gave kanaplex and saw no change. I put a Almond leaf in the tank with no change. I raised the salt and Epson salt level and saw no change. I lowered the temperature to room temperature at 68 and saw no change. I am at a status quo, and search results for white cloud minnow and egg bound includes my post and a reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Aquariums/comments/dug5jf/egg_bound_white_cloud_mountain_minnow/). I am open to new suggestions, but I am thinking of returning them to the main tank. Below are photos: photos in the container were taken a month ago while photos in the tank were taken today, forgive a messy bottom its mostly algae I scrubbed off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
