Re: swim bladder problems

Hi Amanda I have a lovely showa bought at 60 cm, paid a hefty amount expecting good things. Unfortunately end of last season I noticed she was sitting on the bottom quite often. I bowled her and on inspection noticed apart from a spongy belly no damage and gills looked good. Lots of scrapes done and...

Re: spongy belly

Well I did the jab the other day and typically the only thing coming out of her vent was poo. I'll add some photos shortly. There has been no improvement to speak of, the infection on her belly is slowly getting worse, removed 2 more scales on Tuesday. I'll net her tomorrow and see how it's looking....

Re: spongy belly

Hi mate
Had her out this morning for another injection, I noticed there was an orangy discharge from her vent, I gave her belly a slight squeeze and some more came out. Do you think it's worth to continue?
The infection on her belly is also worse too, feel like I'm fighting a losing battle.

It sometimes does a few laps of the pond and takes a few pellets when it feels like it, but most the time its on the bottom.

Re: white pimples on fins

Hi Duncan.

Thankyou for your quick reply.
I will do as you say, keep an eye on it and see how it goes. It has definately improved over the last week or so, which is why I doubted pox, it at first looked quite red with a lot more pimples but seems to be disappering.
Fingers crossed.

The lumps feel hard with some flaky skin, or maybe it was thick mucus which rubbed off. My temps are currently 15, the lumps appeared about 2 weeks a...

Re: Tearing my hair out!!

Hi Amanda sorry for the late reply, just got back from my holiday. Well I did as Duncan suggested and increased the oxygen, there has been a little improvement but there is one fish that is still lunking quite a bit. They are all eating well so I'm just going to suck it and see. I don't think that t...
