My cb is going through hypo right now and looks bloated. It is swollen around the belly as if full of eggs. Any ideas?
I just can't win

Hey, sorry to hear the bad news. I'm assuming you are doing hypo because the fish had ich?
What are you using to measure salinity? And what is the salinity level at this point? What is the pH? Post up your readings in the QT.
How is the fish acting otherwise? Eating, Swiming?

He is eating ok and swimming around fine. I just notced he was getting fat yesterday and figured something else wrong.
Also I'm using a aanton paar density meter that calibrates for water temp from our lab.
I also have a Royal Gramma and a yellow watchman in there also. Will the maracyn affect them?
Crap!! just got phone call saying CB is swimming upside down but still trying to eat.

He did not make it. It makes me so mad that it died probably because of something I done. What causes the internal infections?
My royal gramma has some white stringy poop hanging out. He is in the Q tank now. Is this expected since I was treating ich.
Hey Terry, I just kept this thread open since you guys were both over here.
I thank the both of you for your help.
