- Hi im needing some help. My female guppy gave birth a week ago, and has since bloated. Tried boiled peas, but that didnt help. Two days on shes really bloated, from what I read could it be dropsy? A males also bloated and also has a chest protusion all within the last couple of days. Taken them both out of the main tank yesterday and put into a qt tank. Ive never seen this before. Ph is 7.2 i have an aqua one 220l bare bottom tank with filtration in the top (using poly filter and bio balls in filter)
- Amonia Nitrate, Nitrite all 0
- Volume and Frequency of water changes: weekly - usually 20-25% we use rain water and our tanks been running for about 2 years. We had a run with callamanus and lost 3 guppies but that was a year and a bit ago. Since that weve had no losses, or sick fish.
Tank inhabitants: 8 guppies 4 glass cats, one "albino corydora", 2 "algae eaters"
- Only the two seem effected, so far, today their poo seems a bit clear and stringy also. Have added salt to the qt tank.. hubby thinks maybe we should try epsom salts?
