CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Sorry, I just really hate losing fish. (like most people)

Anyways... my JD is HUGE, his stomach area is like he ate so much it is not even cool.

I gave is a little bit and it has not gone away... 24 hours thus far.

Now I am majorly worried because his scales are getting that flakey look like when they are about to kick it.

I can give you a picture, but he is a 5-6 inch JD with a good 3-31/2 inch's wide! It is not looking good, you can tell it is out of proportion with his body.

HELP PLEASE?!? Anthing.

He has not been eating much, like almost none... and has yet to crap either (is he constipated... it that possible).

ANYTHING PLEASE!?!

oh yeah,

water conditions:
temp 78 at top
ph- 7.2-7.4
no ammonia
clorine/ metal shit treatd
no salt

this is in a 120 gallon tank with a oscar and 2 other smaller tankmates. got a HOT magnum and a biowheel for now, but going to a 2nd HOT or submerseable. tank is clean and attend'd to regularly (I love my friends).

the JD is now chilling at the top of the water level now constantly... just slightlyswimming up and down and breathing normal.

thanx in advance

HE IS DYING AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Something is wrong, SERIOUSLY.

See my other posts, all you can do is quarantine and treat with anti-parasitic medicine, antibiotics etc....and maybe raise temp and add some salt.....
