[Pablos]

I have a problem my botias are all fine then one swims out from under their rock looking like this

Anyone?

Sorry he looks bad and he's in bad shape, he's laying to oneside and when they do this not good news.
He's really bloated up and all thats left to do is an epson salt bath to help draw the fluids out.

you get it from a chemist.And quickly.

A chemist, bless him dosn't look good.
For now try household salt it will be fine, not as good as epson salt but he might not make it till you are able to get the epson salt.
Good luck and fingers crossed.

Poor sweetheart looks so painful.

Let us know if the salt works.

I went straight to the all night chemist last nite but by the time i got back he had gone.
Im so upset as i have had this little fella for about 18 months.

Thanks for all your help last night
