Tropheus problem

[cu0ngsayz]

a few of them dont eat right now(maybe about 2-3). 1 of them have a noticeable big belly and just lays on the sand most the time. hides in the corner of the tank.

i took out all rocks. just have about 5-7 little ones scattered around the tank.
temp is around 80.x-81
1.5 cup of epsom salt, 50%WC, double dose prime.

need to know anything else LMK

How long after from when the problems started did you remove the rocks?

Removing rocks could have easily made things worse by stirring up detritus and gas pockets in the sand back into the water column.

How does the ones effected moving around?

[cu0ngsayz]

i removed the rocks 2 days later i think or it might have been 3 days later.

the ones that are effected are laying on the land just bobbing side to side. dont really swim/move anywhere just in the corner

[cu0ngsayz]

i removed the rock on the 30th

Seems like you're doing too much damage control that's not being effective. Let the medicine work and leave the fish alone. You are causing too much unnecessary stress by moving rocks. I tend to stay away from my tank that Im treating until its time to treat. Did you remove all of the carbon?

[cu0ngsayz]

Yea. I removed carbon and stop purigen.

[cu0ngsayz]

Clout is in. I put in 17 tablets for my tank. Hope things get better.

[cu0ngsayz]

What's the steps of using clout? Same as metro?

[moganman]

Dude, your fish are still tripping? All of this treating, it might not be bloat. They might just be high, as much medication you've given them.

[cu0ngsayz]

Man a few aren't still eating... Idk wtF is going on....

[moganman]

You need to get someone to come over and look at them. What treatment did u go with? Are you just adding metro as you please?

[cu0ngsayz]

I treated with metro first. Doing the same thing you posted. Today is the first day I put in clout

[cu0ngsayz]

[moganman]
