Borb looks bloated

acr0p0ra · May 28, 2019

hi all,
I have a borbonious anthias for about 2 months now. He eats well but over the last week I noticed his stomach area is bloated. Like he has air in him. I know decompression is an issue with these fish but I wouldn’t expect to have an issue 2 months later.

Is there anything that I can do? He seems to swim pretty normal and eat fine.

TIA

Do you have a pic? Based on your description it sounds like it could be constipation which can be helped by dosing epsom salt or feeding a boiled and peeled pea. Any other symptoms?

No other symptoms. Maybe perches more than normal but maybe not.

What do I do with epsom salt?
