Hi!

My Oscar has gotten really bloated, as I posted earlier. He is getting sluggish, and not really begging for food like he used to. Starving him for a few days has not sorted the bloat.

Should I try making some gelatine food with Prazi and Metro? Found those in pure form here locally, under a different name. Kind of expensive, but if it might help I will absolutely try it!

Will food with those meds ruin beneficial bacteria and/or carry any big risks?

Thanks a bunch for any suggestions!

If the fish has an appetite then I’d try feeding metro, dosing levamisole and kanamycin to the water column. The kanamycin could potentially affect your beneficial bacteria but not a lot if there’s an effect. Should be manageable with water changes. If not better then could be a growth of some kind.
