Link2Hell Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I think Metro would be my choice but youwill need to dose the tank as it's not eatinga hospital tank would be goodChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joller Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 fish food, pretty high in protein though, i think 54% but usually also feed peas and brine shrimp a couple of times a week, been a bit slack lately thoughgonna set up a hosp tank tonight, not sure to treat with salt or metro thoughcheers, joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrox Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The sooner you treat the better, and salt won't treat bloat. If it is not eating treat with metro asap. @5ppm twice a day for 5 days observe 2 days and repeat if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
