Major Problem.

[Jjsmith46]

Tank size 350 ltr,stats are all in line,stock is 5 clown loach 2 gold gouramis 11 cardinal tetra 2 mollies,well 2 or 3 of my cardinals are looking a bit bad,the worst has like a spike under the belly its weird it sticks out quite a bit and also from obove the cardinal seems to have a bent-curvy appearance,the other two just seem to be thining,also i have a clown loach that has become very thin and im hand feeding for a few weeks to make sure he recieves food as the other 4 clowns are nice a chubby,though i have noticed that after my clowns eat they tend to get chubby bellys very quickly so i only feed them for a min or two max three times a day!,i hope i dont have fish tb or dropsy any help will be recieved with thanks.

dropsy usually means the fish get fat and their scales are pineconed. sounds like a parasite. any pics?

Im afraid im unable to post pics,im going to move the said cardinals to my guppy tank i think.

 

[AstonN24vantage]

dont move anything. that will stress the fish even more.

Im worried about my clowns i just fed them a small feeding and instantly they become bloated with a visible bump underneath,ive been feeding cucumber and peas for last three days so cant be bloat,we are talking like 1 or 2 bits of flake and they bloat up!.

dont feed cucumber just unshelled peas. this doesn't sound like bloat to me. it sounds like a parasite.
