Why the stomach getting bigger?

Written by allan on May 4th, 2006. Posted in Health, Diease and Treatments

Already 3 months the discus stomach is getting bigger and bigger each week. I have try change the food and give medication but it still no help. The fish is ok it have appetite to eat. Just the stomach
is getting bigger.

Reply:
1. Possible there are internal parasites in the stomach.
2. The parasites multiply and grow bigger, then the stomach grow
bigger as well.

Treatment:
Apply Epsom salt in the tank for 24 hours.
You can repeat the treatment.

    Hi,

    1) Where do I get Epsom Salt around Penang? I went to Chew Thean Yang in Burmah Road & ask them. All the staff gave me a blank face.

    2) My tank size is 76cm X 38cm X 42cm. How many discus can I keep ?

    Thanks very much.

      1) You Can get it from Leong Traco at Chulia Street near Odean Theatre side. You can adjust it starting from one teaspoon.
      2) 4in – 8pcs, 5in – 2pcs
