Aquarium Advice Regular
I have an earlier post titled "Constipation??" and Ive decided that its not constipation. I am totally baffled. My flame dwarf gourami has been sick for almost 3 weeks now.... hes being treated with Coppersafe, Melafix and Maracyn Two and this is the last day of treatment with no change in his illness. I tried aquarium salt before all this as well.
More details are in my earlier post about his condition, but he will not eat, and he sits in one place in mid tank and rarely swims around. The only thing he gets jazzed about eating is those tiny white worms that come from too much wasted food in the tank (which happened cuz he hasnt been eating and I was still feeding as normal.. duh) His poop is totally clear and his colours have faded a bit, and his fins seem flared all the time. His belly looks full, but the rest of his body is thinner. The new thing Ive noticed is, hes been going over to the filter intake tube and shimmying across it as if hes enjoying the vibration....Ive even got out the magnifying glass to examine him for parasites or raised scales. Im pretty sure his scales arent raised, especially if you look down on him from the top.
If it were Dropsy, wouldnt he be dead by now after 3 weeks?
Does anyone have any idea what could be his problem?
