Illness & Symptoms
How long have you had this fish? 2 years
How long ago did you first notice these symptoms? About an hour ago
In a few words, can you explain the symptoms? She is slightly bloated and upsidedown, but still moving around
Have you started any treatment for the illness? I treated with an antibacterial (Artemiss)
Was your fish physically ill or injured upon purchase? No
How has its behavior and appearance changed, if at all? She is just a bit bloated
Explain your emergency situation in detail. 3 of my four dojos are upsidedown, or struggling to stay upright. The temperature has been rising, as it has been abnormally hot the last two days. Just did a cool water change and treated with artemiss. They seem to be improving.
They may have eaten too fast but
it has been in the 90s for the last two days (extremely unusual for june in MT) and we just had a random GIANT rain storm out of nowhere, so possibly the drastic baremetric pressure may have caused issues as well. I have also offered peas. Pleas ehelp, they are my treasured babies and i would do anything for them
