LoriG Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Hi! I have a sick ranchu, Sealy. He’s been on the bottom of the tank for about 3 days. I’ve had him and his 2 ranchu sibs(Gloria and Daisy) for a year. Sealy is still interested in feeding but I’ve on given boiled peas to see if it was constipation( hasn’t helped). He’s always been prone to stay at the top of the tank & I assumed he had a problem with his swim bladder. I want to dose some aquarium salt, but I have a Japanese Trapdoor snail, Mr Fujiyama and fear it will hurt/kill him. I’m at the take end of cycling a QT so it’s not really an option yet. What do you advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I would not feed for 4days then offer peas if you can't use salt try maracyn some swim bladder problem are caused by a bacterial infection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Manifesto Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Have you checked the water parameters? What is the Temp, pH, ammonia, etc etc? This might be a water quality issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
