Hello,
I noticed a few days ago that one of my guppies was bloated and thought along the top looked like it was pineconing slightly, so I thought it had dropsy. Yesterday I noticed that he has a white string coming out from his side.
NH3: 0
NO2: 0
NO3: 40 at water change usually
Temp: 76F
Water change is generally 10 gallons once a week, 15 if I think it's nastier.
Size: 34 gallons
Tankmates: 2 male guppies, 1 black skirt tetra, 1 Julie cory, 1 opaline gourami, 2 BN plecos, 2 bamboo shrimp, 6ish nitrile snails, and an unfortunate collection of small pond snails
Chemicals: Flourish comprehensive supplement for the planted aquarium, Flourish tabs, API CO2 Booster, and some pellet that the woman at the store said to add once a week for the plants. I started using all of these over a month ago.
Food: API tropical greens and Hikari algae wafers
I did clean one of the filters this weekend in old tank water and added some
Maple, oak, and birch leaves to the tank, though I believe the bloat may have begun prior to that.
