So a few days ago I fed my BTA a whole silverside (in pieces) after having this guy in my tank about a week.. This morning he was deflating and had a slimy substance coming out of him. He continued deflating over the next few hours and now he is fully deflated and sucking into himself with his mouth showing.
He's in a 20 gal tank with bio wheel hang on filter and bubbler. Using mixed salt water with stress coat additive. 5%WC weekly. Running T5-HO lights 28w total for around 8-10 hours per day. Tank has been running approx. 4 months.
He was only in this tank until our 60 gal is set up/cycled..... If he lives?
Thoughts, comments, suggestions please!? Thanks
Tank mates: 2 scarlet shrimp, 1 turbo snail, 3 sand snails, 1 linckia star
