Hey MFK
I have a keyhole cichlids whos around a year old, ever since I purchased him with my five others he hasn't grown much and has been at the bottom of the pecking order. Recently he hasn't even been eating, so I moved him to a separate tank so he could eat without getting bullied. However, his scales recently began to pinecone and he started to bloat. Today, I found him unable to swim, flailing around. Somethings clearly wrong with his swim bladder, or something like that. He's severely pineconed. Is it time to put him down? Or is there some magic way to help him?
If it's time, what is the best way to do it? I have some clove oil on hand, what would be the best way to use this to euthanize him?
I appreciate any help.
