Pea feeding

[Cjbear087]

So one of my guppies has severe bloat (I believe constipation) and after an Epsom salt bath - he still has bloat. So I am going to try the next method now of feedings peas - but I have no idea how to go about doing this. How many peas? Do I peel them? If anyone could let me know that would be great. Thanks

Keep up on the salt baths as well. The pea solution is kind of a hit or miss. If you’re feeding one guppy.  Just a partial pea. Softened in the microwave. Skinned is okay. If it doesn’t clear in a couple days, I’d feed him colus recipe for maracyn2 in his feed. It very easily could be from bacterial infection.

Funnily enough I’ve just done a whole Maracyn 2 treatment for fin rot so I think that eliminates the possibly of it being bacterial.

Well okay then 👍🤣. Bloat is such a bugger though. It can even come from organ failure and there’s no cure for that.

Yeah it’s a real pita, I don’t think it’s anything serious though as he’s probably been like this for a month and a bit now - just something that would be better not to have lol
