hi Dino.. my bluedragon anal is swelling.. i think a lot of food that is undigested coming out slowly.. but i think he felt much better.. its a relief :o .. but somebody advice me to put 250 gram of metrodinazole in aquarium and i did...to kill the parasite.. i think his anal is swelling a little now... i still do not feed him food.. for three day.. is it alright.. i think he is hungry most of the time... but he is still active... but getting thinner..

dun think there is any problem since it is getting thinner..
just watch your water parameter this few days..
erm.. don encourage of live feeds.. a lot of problem even after QT sometimes..

thank you for your advice.. Dino.. my bluedragon is ok now... his anal no longer swollen... :) i think i heed your advice never to feed him life food again.. it worry me a lot recently.. but he is very active and lively now.. i think i feed him one or two few pellet.. :thumbsup: this is my favorite.. such a small guy... his head kok showing a lot more potential... thank you again dino...

it's my pleasure to help you .. no thank you is needed.. :lol: :hugging:

anyway, matain your water quality at the best will also show the best of the fish

Get soem epsom salt. It flushes out al lthe constipation.

well i think i heed your advice Almond :o ... to find some epson salt.. probably in a petshop tomorow i search for it... but before oftenly i put iodized salt in my aquarium after changing water.. is it ok... is there any causes for that.. lately recently sumbody called me not to add iodized salt.. but i asked him is there any cause for it??? because i been using that ever since... he do not know also.. he just heed from other people advice that it is bad for the fish.. used only ordinary table salt not iodized.. :no: well sir/madam can i have some advice is there any effect on my fish using iodized salt!! does it causes any harm.. and wat the best salt should i used... :thumbsup: great to have you guy and gal around..

IMO, iodise salt is perfectly alright. in fact, iodine is necessary for healthy fish growth.

we usually use aquarium salt in case the home-use salt is mixed with some other undesirable agents instead of just iodine :)

fine aquarium salt by Oceanfree
philippines should have.. u in phi right?
iodized salt means mixed with sodium iodide,get DEiodised salt.

Get the salt at pharmacys. Fish shop dont sell it. Epsom salt seems to be going extinct in singapore.heard that it may stop coming altogether.But i have used it b4, and i think it works great!

but your fish is okay already right?

yes... Dino my bluedragon is ok now... active and healthy as of now :fight: xcept i plan to know more about epsom salt for future use.. its probably good to have sumthing at home to remember.. thank you guys... for the advice.. :)

Great!!
any problem post again.. :thumbsup:
