Well after 5 weeks of treatments my chromis is starting to look up.
Here is the before:
I'll get the after tomorrow.
However, we have another problem....
He is eating like mad 4-5 times a day. Mainly cyclops in an auto feeder during the day when I'm not home. But I also feed PE mysis and scallops soaked in garlic and selcon and even some adult live brine shrimp for fun. Despite the huge appetite its stomach started to indent badly. Therefore I ordered some parazipro. and metro. Though he has no sign of worms (white stringy poo). His is red and big which is not a surprise since he eats orange cyclops and a lot of them. I still dosed parazi. last night after a 25% WC. Tonight I checked on the fish and feed. However, they had loss of appetite which I found out is normal for the first 72 hours. My main concern is the fact that one of the other fish bloated up. I tried to find just basic information on fish bloat and actually stumbled upon a article making reference to parazipro as the possible cause. Though all of the responses said it wasn't. The thread was very indecisive.
Has anyone else had this issue? This fish was fine and not the original problem fish. I may also have to dose antibiotics tomorrow as it's there is a point in his scales that are flared out and exposing tissue it seems. Is there anything I can do to reduce internal body fluids? I have metro. Should I just dose it to the tank, tank and food or just food?
