| I have a suddenly bloated Angelfish that can not longer swims, just sits on the bottom of the tank. I would like to treat it with antibiotics but am not sure whether I should treat the whole 55 gal tank or seperate and treat singley. Please help as I am getting new fish in tomorrow! bastet56 | |

| You can treat him on the tank but the best way is put him on a separate tank.., aclimate him well, remove media and people use 1/8 of a teaspoon epson salt per 5gl of water..(the reason why put him on a separate tank is because some fish dont do well with salt.., im sure theres other treatments but i tried this once and it worked..., and good luck with the fish sometimes it may be too late...
And also feed less until is completely cured.. | |

| Bloat is usually caused from over feeding. Try putting him in another tank and fast him for about 4-5 days. Then feed him only crushed frozen peas removed from the shell and warmed for two to three days. | |
