Angelfish Bloated And Eyes Bulging

[aquamike]

Hi,

I have a small angelfish that just recently developed an bloated belly and its eyes appear to be bulging. Yesterday, I just started feeding my fish live blackworms and brine shrimp to add to their already varied diet. Could this fish have ate too much and is constipated? The eye thing is confusing me as well.

Thanks for the help,
Mike

The fish has pop eye and it closely related to dropsy because of the build up of fluids.
Try some shelled peas and epson salt bath, the fish will need a bacterial med for the pop eye.

What causes this? Will it spread to my others?

Thanks

Always best to issolate a sick fish as if they die in the tank and the other fish peck at the dead body this is how deasease can spread.
All I know is that its a build up of fluids, this swollen tummy could be dropsy with the pop eye, or constipation, but you do need to use a bacterial med fast.
Good luck.

Look under dropsy and pop eye.
