Ezzat Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 My PH and KH are on the low side 1 drop changed API color, my GH is high 12 drops to turn the color, other than this everything is perfect. Water changes weekly not ammonia not nitrates or nitrites .. I try to feed different types to get her to eat. Brian Shrimp , blood worms and flakes. I haven’t seen poop at all , she swims active and perfect balanced , no floating, she tried to eat yesterday and then spit the food again. 5 min later she picked a piece of food and didn’t spit.

Spitting out food and loss of appetite can be a sign of a parasitic infections what I would suggest is treating with expel p once a week for 3 weeks add some Epsom salt to the tank 1 table spoon for 3 gallons for 5 days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant to help your fish pass any parasites or help with constipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezzat Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 Do you mean one table spoon of Epsom salt daily for 5 days ? I have video of her eating a bit but not much. Do you think she may need a mate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your 5g quarantine tank add 1 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of epsom salt, at the end of 5 days do a good water change and remove the salt. One tablespoon a day , for 5days gives you 1 tablespoons per gallon at the end. Way too high. Maybe not a survivable level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
