So I've been traveling the past few weeks and so things in the 265 aren't all that peachy. Tank is pretty clean but it has been 2 weeks since I had a water change. So here's the deal. There are territorial fights going on everywhere and so I've lost 2 Demsoni and a Male Met. OB Callainos...I now have 2 males and 7 females. No idea if the Demasonis were male or female.
The biggest problem I had/have are my Tropheus. I originally had 4. One died of bloat rather quickly. I honestly did not see ANY symptoms...she just dropped dead. Then the male developed bloat. This I am sure of because he swelled up dramatically and hid.
Last Friday - Sunday I treated the entire tank with the proper dose of Metro and added Kosher Salt as well. I did not feed. So 3 doses.
I do have Metro medicated food and so fed them only twice since last Sunday. I was away the whole week.
So now I came home today and he is no longer swollen, and he is participating in the mad food rush whenever I go near the tank.
What now? Water change? Another dose?
Need advice.
Sorry for the long post.
