Hey!
I'm new to cichlids. I have a few 3 Kenyi's and 2 Demasoni's in my tank... My Kenyi's bred 4 little kenyi's!!!
Here is now a question:
I saw one of my Demasoni's (guess to be female) not eating anymore. I panicked cause the first thought was Bloat... I removed her from the main tank to a very small hospital tank and treated her with Sera Baktopur Direct and Epsom salt... (Can't find clout)
She used to hide when ever I came near the tank but I think its because of the fact that I moved her... She's not really hiding anymore but she is also not eating. Its been almost a week now. I aslo don't see any swelling so here is what I want to know:
Could she be holding?
She is still very small... she looks like she's chewing a lot and sometimes when she's active looks like she wants to spit or something?
So question
1) Could she be holding and not have bloat?
2) At what size will she be able to hold
3) How long from not eating will u be able to see that she is indeed holding
4) Will the Baktopur or Epsom salt kill any eggs?
In the picture, the demasoni is not dead
She is sitting on the bottom but does swim around sometimes... She likes hiding her head in the rocks.
Thanks guys!
