Hii

I bought my f8 a month ago and he is alone on my 60 gl tank, e fed him every day whith shrimp and frozen bloodworms. He seems to be very happy and healty Always exited with my presence and food, the only problem is that he eats and eats and when he finhishes his stomach is big and round , but 60 to 100 min later his stomach is already sucked.

I dont no why but I cant put a foto of it.

I live in portugal but i can order meds form other places , he is the only fish in the tank.

What med should i give to him?

Soak his foods for the next 3 days in Prazipro or Metronidazole.

Does prazipro work for protozoans too? Or i will have to biy the 2 , because i dont know what parasite it is!?

Try 1 for 3 days & then the other or you could use both together. Unless you have a microscope to examine the poop.

Have you tried soaking his food in garlic? It should enhance flavor & appetite.

No i didn't i am going to try now

No he just ignores all the food i give to him

Try it!

The disease may be tuberculosis, my DP had it. I was really attached to it, so it was sad to see that guy go. : (
I heard that dog dewormers might help. Not sure though.

Hopefully this helps.
