Hi all,

just 3 1/2 hours after water change, salt, and general tonic, all seem to be improving. some bloated bellies have started to reduce, fins are unclamped, and all seem happy.

not daft enough to beleive thats it, but at least no more deaths. will water change every day for nex few days and buy amonia test kit too.

thanks again

can i ask a question,

how,and why would you give epsom salt bath.

when is it indicated, type of problem, and how much do you put in, and for how long.
do you just teat individuals?

Meant to help draw the fluids out if they are suffering from dropsy, you give them a epson salt bath of one tablespoon to the gal for thirty minutes, but you have to keep an eye on the fish as if it starts acting weird you remove the fish from the bath straight away.
Also you can use epson salt if they are constipated it helps to get thngs moving.

so you don't put it in the main tank?

have to catch fish and put in a bowl?

sorry to be so dim

I think you can add it to the tank, one tablespoon to 5gal

Can't find the info now so i would just use it for a bath only.
