Sick Fish

[JxMetal]

Hey, I got a fish that's pretty sick. I found him stuck to a powerhead today. He's eating and all, but he's just skinny. I double fed today.

Are there any vitamins I could get to help with the healing and plumping up?

He's not as fat as he once was.

Freashly hatched bbs 96% protein.

baby brine shrimp. nevermind. Don't know where to get them

Make your own. Petco or petsmart sells the eggs. They you bubble them in a 2 liter bottle with a airline and a small pump for 24 hours and you got bbs.

(Pet Market Place on Watson, Aqua World on Manchaster and Gravois sell them live but they are at 50% or less protein).

I did this when I was breeding african cichlids and the little guys grow one inch in about 3 weeks on this stuff.

I may look into this. I can probably just make them under the stand.

Might want to look into some Selcon Jeff.

Don't know all of the local vendors for it but I'm sure that they used to sell it at MS.

I picked up some rods food. since its got a wide variety of foods for the fish to choose from.. I've doubled the feeding schedule and he looked healthier this morning.
