Nitrate reading between 0 and lowest value using API drops. I did have a goldfish that lived with them who died in January-she had a tumor on one gill and was 9 years old. I did replace a UV filter in April or May, I think. I hope that's not the problem. I could disconnect it if I need to.
Her bloat appeared gradually, but her skin is taught, not wiggly. Her first symptom was the loss of appetite. After barely eating for a few weeks, I started looking at her more closely and noticed she seemed a little larger than normal. So her bloat is somewhere in between the two types. When you say salt baths, do you mean Epsom or aquarium? I assume you mean Epsom for the swelling.
What should I do? salt baths and an antibiotic, or just salt baths? Should I try to force feed her and, if so, how?
Thanks.
