Bloated bream may need your help
Hello
We have 2 bream in our pond. One of the bream has bloated up like a balloon and his scales are all sticking out like a pine cone. He/she also points his head down at a 45degree angle and stays in the same place for ages. His/her tail looks a bit raggy too. I was hoping someone might be able to diagnose the problem and suggest a suitable treatment. Other info which might help. The fish are in the bottom pond of a three tier system so oxygen should be OK. There is also a oxygen stone in the bottom pool. We have just given the pond a spring clean and the fish do look livlier and happier. We have the following other fish in the same pool. 3 golden orfe - looking fine. 3 Goldfish - looking fine 1 more bream - looks OK 2 Koi - look like the have a couple of patches of fungus on them Also: 3-4 large frogs which have laid lots of frogs spawn. There are also 4 pots of water lillies and a large clump of irisis. We add water conditioner when we add tap water and somethimes a little pond salt but apart from that don't do much to the pond. The pond has a filtration sytem with a UV lamp which is more than adequate for it's size. Hope someone can help Regards Haymish |
