Water sickness quarantine pool?
Hello,
Recently, one of my loaches developed several ulcers on its body and a bloated belly. Since I wasn't sure what it was, I tried treating it with Sera omnipur S. After the treatment, I noticed that another loach had two white "things" on its body (not white spots), so I immediately performed a second treatment. The white "things" are now gone, but her belly is quite large compared to the others, and I suspect it's dropsy.
Edit2: Now that I've taken some pictures and looked at them more closely, I've noticed that the loach seems to be getting similar ulcers to the first one.
The only problem is that the animals would have to be placed in a quarantine tank for treatment, since dropsy is contagious. However, I don't have one, and even if I were to get one tomorrow, it wouldn't be ready for the fish for at least 2-3 weeks.
Edit: I also have one or three red neons that don't look particularly good. Unfortunately, I have a hard time determining what they are.
Does anyone know what I can do?
"Relieving" the animals with clove oil is out of the question for me as long as there is another option.
Thanks for your answers!

Hello,
the really infectious abdominal water addiction is very rare in the aquarium.
Almost always, the thick belly is only a symptom of a bacterial disease, which prevents the water flowing into the fish (osmotic regulation) from being able to escape from the fish again. So it accumulates in the abdomen, the abdomen becomes thicker and thicker. After some time, the fish will usually die from multiple organ failure.
If you write, you’d have treated Omnipur S once, then you’ve tipped a lot of disinfectant into the water with this broadband. These kill not only the “bös” bacteria, but also the filter and soil bacteria. Quickly you get so massive problems in the aquarium with ammonia and nitrite and fishing is worse than before.
Unfortunately, you don’t write anything about your water values. But since the water is now the habitat of the fish, almost all diseases of our ornamental fish result from unmatched water. Or even highly loaded water or from a much too high germ and bacteria density.
It is much more sensible to tilt into the water instead of any “broadband medicament”, to make daily large partial water changes. This reduces the germ and bacteria density and usually helps to alleviate a lot more bacterial infections.
Try this, maybe the rogue (and also the neon) is still to be saved.
Good success
Okay, thanks for your answer.
I’ll start making several changes of water from tomorrow and see if something improves.
Why tomorrow? It’s still early evening, you can, or you should exchange at least 50 liters today, but pay attention to the temperature, after all it’s about beings that you are responsible for!
do this – I’ll push you and your fish the thumbs
wanted to follow the instructions of the drug. 24h filtering via activated carbon and then a large water change.
Thank you.
Without images on which you can also see something, this is extremely difficult. Secondary infections are normal in infectious abdominal water addiction. The kidneys are damaged, which then leads to liquid accumulations in the abdominal cavity. But without pictures?
I’m trying to make a picture.
Thanks for your help!
Hi.
It’s probably not an abdominal water addiction.
Inflated abdomen and protruding sheds are an unspecific symptom and can be caused by various organ damage, e.g. on liver and heart.
Treatments of this type, without diagnosis, harm more than they use- fish diseases happen sometimes.
Take a picture, ask. Not here is only approx. 5 very active users. But only a few diseases can easily diagnose the Internet. Tumors in general never. No chance.
Does anyone know what I can do?
You have no diagnosis, so you can’t handle it. You can call one of the few fish veterinarians, but then, of course, you’re going well with money. Without a guarantee of success, I wouldn’t do it.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing left to see what happens.
Death disease or completely damaged animals may kill if you find that good.
