Re: [AquaticLife] Goldfish Problem

 

Hi Ray,

Added the Epsom Salts & within 20 minutes he was looking better, by this
morning he was doing great & tonight he is almost back to normal. The
prolonged surface hanging has stopped & he is now swimming around with his
friends-such a relief. I have used this treatment before when one of my
fish was bottom sitting & looking bloated-within a few hours he had done a
poop almost a foot long & was swimming around like nothing had happened.

I'm not sure of the percentage but the total gallonage of my tank including
the filtration system & plumbing is around 120 UK gallons [144 US gallons]
& to that I added 72 dessert spoons of Epsom Salts. I mixed it in a bucket
with some tank water until it was completely dissolved & then added it
slowly back in to the tank over the next half hour, one cupful at a time.
Today I did my regular 30 gallon water change & so I added back the
pro-rata rate of 18 dessert spoons of Epsom Salts to this new water.
