Slightly fat belly and wont poo
Hi all i have a small leopard im growing out he stopped eating about 5 days ago .His belly is a little fatter then usual so yesterday i put him in a qt tank and put in some epsom salts 2tbs to 40ltrs.Its been over 24hrs and 2 100% water changes and he still hasnt done a poo.How long does it take for the epsom salts to work?
Other then the fat belly he looks great nice high fins really good colour thats why i think he is backed up .

Im replacing the epsom salts with each water change its just the tank doesnt have a filter so im trying to keep the water as clean as possible.

There is only 1fish. Don't worry about doing a water change for unto 36 hours. This fish will eventually die if we don't get it to eat and poo. After 36 hours if it still has not pood do a water change and double the amount of Epsom salts. It is also possible this fish has a heavy worm infestation. Have you de worked. Visit my website. www.marlonsdiscus.com.au for worm medication
