Just want to say that I had a neon color skirt tetra that was severely bloated. It did have the pine coning going on and I really thought the salt bath would be too late, but I tried it anyway. Well the next day he looked a little less bloated, then the second day, wow!!! He was back to normal. I am shocked because I really thought it was too late. The salt bath worked!! And I did 12-13 min in it. He did not freak out when I put him in it like others said and he didn’t seem to react any different in it other than breathing faster. I picked him up with my hand gently to put him back in his community tank and it was so much better than the net, which DID freak him out.

For anyone watching unsure of what to do, I felt the same way. I tried using the Epsom salt bath though, and so far I can say it worked well. Its a pretty inexpensive treatment compared to medicine. I pretty much did the 1 tablespoon (I only have one-half teaspoon measurements, so 6 of those) and probably went a little under. I mixed it well with a quarter of the water, then again at half, and finally at full. After that I left my 2 corydoras in there for 10 minutes freaking out every time they stopped moving for too long. I put them in a breeder pen in their normal tank for the night, and in the morning they were very happy. I used it because they kept floating to the surface. Their symptoms only showed up a few hours before I gave them the bath. I am still monitoring them to see if it happens again. This comment isn't to act like the video doesn't have good information. Everything I did was based off of the video and adjusted for the size of my tank (10 gallons). I just wanted to post good results and a little story because I know I was nervous and scared trying it for the first time yesterday. Just be confident and if you don't have precise measurements, it wont harm them if you put a little less like if would if you put too much. Good luck to you all and thanks for the video.
@gurinderpreetsingh12563 жыл бұрын
@Maria Diep I don't think you should. It also depends on the size of your tank and why you're using it. The best method to use is giving them a salt bath that way they're only exposed to it for a short period of time and then they can relax in their normal habitat. I checked some online sources and some of them agree that you should avoid putting 1/8 of a tablespoon (a teaspoon is 1/3) for every 5 gallons. If you have a 10 gallon tank then 2 teaspoon could pass but you should do a water change after a few hours and then another one the next day. Too much exposure can lead to other issues like irritation. This is why it's better to have a bath in a separate bowl or have a separate "hospital tank" because you really don't want to overexpose them to these types of things. Make sure you monitor your water parameters regularly when you are making changes to your tank. If you already added the salt then I'd suggest getting a few tests done then changing the water just in case. The fish won't show signs of sickness until they're too sick.

When treating your entire tank, be sure to do as little as possible as magnesium sulfate also is very effective in raising your GH without affecting KH or pH!!! Dissolve 2 tablespoons in 1 cup of tank water and wait 10-15 minutes for it to fully dissolve.. then add 1/4 cup per 10 U.S. gallons to your tank. 1 full cup per 40 U.S. gallons. If your tank water is really hard already, it’s better to take the fish out of the tank and give the fish an epsom salt bath for 20-30 minutes!!!

Your scale was acting up because your phone was too close to it. Something about phones makes them acting up. I also make sure my tablet and smart watch are kept away to be safe.

I have a question.....if I use the bath method in a bucket of 1 gallon of tank water to 1 tbsp of Epsom salts, how often should I use this method to ensure they get better? Is it a one time treatment?

Epson salt is also used to kill black beard algae in pools. I wonder if it is possible to use it to kill black algae in aquariums?

I have a roughly 6-8 inch comet goldfish with dropsy in a 10k+ gallon pond. None of the other 40 or so fish in there have any problems but this one has dropsy. It has bloated slowly over several months, i originally thought it was eggs until the scales started to pinecone. I do not believe the problem is anything other than bad genetics because it's a comet based on none of the other fish being affected for several months. But I want to relieve the bloating with salt. Once I remove him from the pond and put him in a quarantine tank what kind and how much salt should I use to suck the water out that is swelling him?

The scales are affected by other electronic devices like hmm say your calculator or a mobile phone.

Hi! I’m trying to figure out if my fish has dropsy or is just bloated. I’ve given him two epsom salt baths once a week for the last two weeks. How long should I keep giving him epsom salt baths till I’m supposed to see a difference? Trying to figure out how long I should go before I move onto medicine.

Can I ask please, I have put a carefully measured amount into my aquarium as I don't want to remove the fish. Is that the only dose I can put in or can I add more later? Or, if it is going to help does it only need one dose? Thanks

I have a small goldfish that’s 10 years old. It bloats after eating and looks miserable. After about 12 hours +/- it no longer is bloated. Is there a special food I can feed it to eliminate what appears to be extreme gas from the food. Thanks...

I gave him a 'Short Term Bath' following your instructions..the question is "is that it?".... what about any more baths / treatments, and how long for? the treatment?...Other treatment vids on here are saying 2 weeks, 8 days, 2 days etc. Can you advise more on this please. Thanks
