scissortail witha sunken in belly

[wesa]

This scissortail i have has its stomach caved in on one side. He still eats fine swims fine, but it's only on one side and my other scissortail doesn't have it. I feed them flakes, bloodworms, sometimes ants

I may be completely wrong but a caved in stomach can be a symptom of fish TB. The stomach caves in even though the fish eats normally as the internal organs are damaged by the disease...

Its contagious to humans so be careful!!


It may be something completely innocent but better safe than sorry!!!!

i had the same problem with my cichlids. i feared for their lives thinking they had contracted a disease, but it turns out i wasn't feeding them enough )

before trying meds, try adding a little more food to fatten it up. if that doesn't work, you're gonna have to deal with a sick fish.
