butters Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Here is my original post http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=37353 but I figured I would post here now because I'm actually quite concerned. He has gotten bigger in the last 2 hours. I just fed them so I'm assuming he is bloated or whatever. What can I do about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGuppyGirl Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Not knowledgeable about piranhas, just have community fish, but usually when mine are bloated its because they are egg nound ( constipated) or once it was dropsy, is he still eating and pooping? Does he have a pinecone look with his scales sticking out when viewed from his tail end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 It looks like constipation to me. See if it'll eat some peas, or maybe add some Epsom salts to the water - both are known laxitaves for fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
