Midas blenny weird stomach

[Sean Duggan]

Hey everyone noticed last night my Midas blenny face was a little darker and his stomach was weird. Almost looks like he’s constipated. Same thing when I got home from work today. Fed him some deshelled peas and he ate some. He’s still eating and active, anything else I can do? Sorry for the poor image quality best I could get with home swimming around

Bump

Food + Focus + a dash of plain epsom salts can work for simple constipation.

 

[Sean Duggan]

Okay will pick up some epsom salt. My mom said she did see him poop a little so at least I know now that some stuff is moving. Will continue to monitor though

Has the fish been dewormed or treated for external/internal parasites?

 

[Sean Duggan]

No didn’t have a qt set up but he’s Been in my display tank for about 6 months now. No other fish were introduced after him and he’s been perfectly healthy until this

Perfectly healthy means nothing to internal parasites...he might have a belly full of worms...
I myself would feed food soaked in metro bound with focus.

I like general cure mixed with focus and a dash a epsom salt...can feed directly to tank without issue provided you have seachem focus. Feed for 3 weeks

 

[Sean Duggan]

Okay I’ll grab some seachem focus and epsom salt today and mix it with frozen food and feed

And how long should I soak the food? Just ordered metroplex and focus off of Amazon.

At least 15 mins

How’d everything work out?

Would prazipro do this? I'm QTing one right now and his belly is discolored. I plan to use copper then prazipro
