Hi all

Any help would be much apreciated.

One of my discus has a hugely bloated stomach and is is in constant swiming motion towards the bottom but only managing to stay in one spot.

Will he come right? or will he simply get exhausted and float on up?

What can I do/ add epsom salt?

I don't want to lose him!

Cheers in advance
Johnny

I'd give him a bath in epsom salt anyway Johnny, in Hospital tank or a big bucket with an airstone
