bloat starts as subtle swelling that usually goes unnoticed by most owners unless they have a habit of constantly staring at the tank

I also have her next to a few females of similar age, and it was easier to see the tiny differences.

Bloat is most often treatable when caught very early on - She does seem to be improving.

She is still active like normal and her thighs seem less plump today - a good sign!

Still doing the Maracyn II treatment as prescribed and am downgrading to half our salt baths due to her improvement.
