troph not eating

[johnnymisty]

One of my ndoles is not eating any more and color has faded now was fine yesterday. Today is off on its own belly seem a little puffy anyone have any idea what could be wrong bloat maybe.

Treat for bloat. Trophs never stop eating

+1, treat for bloat.

As previously mentioned by Geral, API General Cure and Epsom Salt seems to be the best bet. I treat with the separate ingredients found in General Cure (Metro and Praziquantel) and Epsom salt as well and I find the results to be better than using Metro alone with Epsom salt

+2 on Sunny , turn off lights start treatment NOW the whole tank

all the above reply are correct post a pic if u can, one of my blues got so puffed out that i had to take her out. I didnt treat the tank because the rest were healthy and eating. Let us know how it goes

Andrew, check back into Johnny's past threads and you'll see what's going on. No need to rehash all that again

Bloat doesn't come from bad food and bad water alone. Sometimes they get picked on and bullied which causes it. Bloat comes from stress that is most commonly caused by no food, bad food, and bad water quality most of the time but not always. Good luck man. Bloat is a pain but always have a supply of at least metro, clout, or API.

If the rest of the colony is fine, I would get the fish out of there and treat in a QT.
