Bloated Perc Clown - What to do?!

cdobson · 07/06/2006, 05:50 AM

Hello,

My percula clown has over the course of the last day become somewhat bloated and lethargic. This morning he also failed to feed.

Has anyone any suggestions as to what could be causing this, and also what could be done to treat it?

I have read articles stating that Dosing the water with Epsom Salts can be of benefit. Is this true?

what have you been feeding him? To much meaty foods and they will become bloated. Try feeding him some greens, some type of food with algae content and that may "losen" him up a little!

Thanks for the suggestion... I try and feed a mixture of stuff, but given how he wolfs stuff down for such a little guy, indigestion certainly woudn't be out of the question!
