    Epsom salt bath dosing

    Need dosing for a Epsom salt bath. Have a very bloated angelfish who hasn't pooped in over a week now. I have a three gallon bucket. I did one last night with 1tsp per gallon for 20-30 minutes and wasn't sure if I made the bath strong enough or not. Thanks in advance.
