ANyone know the symptoms and treatmeant for fatty liver disease?

No idea.

i know its caused by overfeeding or feeding unhealthy foods and their bodies cant process the amount of food. Try going on wetwebmedia.com they have all sorts of info available.I wish i knew more Good luck!

Thx guys..im suspecting my abei *polly* have liver diswase because no sign have anything but heavy breatjing..even after epson salt he didnt poop but still weak.

I had a suvattii that just stopped eating & about a week later dropped dead. After doing an autopsy, I saw it's liver was hard as a rock & yellowish. I was told it was liver disease, probable from being fed feeders for a long time before I got him.

Here's a fish that will most likely die of fatty liver disease: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forum ... p?t=170249

Thanks PP if my polly dont make it*knock on woods* i will do autopsy as well to see if he got fat liver disease so i will learn next time but is odd i feed him every other day. Dont think i over fed him.

Sometimes it's not what we feed them, it's the diet they were fed before we got them. How many LFS do we go to & see feeders in with the puffers for them to eat?

I have checked that today that LFS been feeding black worms to my polly but i dont know what the whole seller feed them before it arrives to LFS.
