  • Auratus carring eggs....I dont know! Help!

    I only have 2 Auratus in my tank. One male and one female. Shes been acting very strange lately, including not eating for days.... I have separated her from the rest, but I cant see any difference in her facial structure to suggest she has eggs. Any tips? Im obviously new to this.. Thanks!

        She might be starting to get bloat perhaps?

          Would that stop her from eating tho?

              treat her with epsom salt/magnesium sulfate, 1tbsp/5g and see if that doesn't help her.

                    Interesting.... Will it harm smaller fish in the tank? I have a few that are only a few weeks old. Do you think it looks like she is carrying eggs?

                      I believe these are mouthbrooders, so no.

                      and no it will not harm the other fish.

                        The salt wont hurt the others. Its actually a good thing to add in on your regular water changes. Helps to prevent diseases from even starting.

                        Another caution is how much did she eat, so fish will eat way too much if u let them and may get huge bellies!
