Constipation?

[Jpmc™]

I think my fish may be constipated.
Do you guys suggest a cooked deshelled pea?
He's making a long poo, it's regular color, though.

Also, I can't get ANY medications for him, because no where sells any.

Signs of constipation are long stringy white poo and the fish might look bloated.
If the poo long you are over feeding the fish. So cut down on feeding.

Peas are the med for constipation.
Or epson salt baths if the fish is bloated.

Ok, what I usually do is feed them 2 times a day and each day after school, or around that time a treat of eather Tubifex or Bloodworms.
(Bloodworms only fed once a week)


I'll try making their meals smaller with treats every 3 days.

Are the tubilex freeze dried, frozen, or live.
Do you feed flake food.

I believe all my worms are freeze-dried
And I do feed them flake food with the odd betta pellet (a rare treat)

 

[WILDER]

Freeze dried foods if over fed can cause swim bladder and constipation.

Try and get some frozen foods like brime strimp and daphnia.
Introduce some green veg into there diet.

You can always buy any meds you need online if you dont have shops that sell them.
