I know this is an old video but I just ran into this problem last night. Jack dempsey was very bloated and swimming all over the place. could swim straight mostly head down and at top of tank. I just did a big water change and rearrange of the tank coupled with I have him with some electric blue african ciclids so he was already stressed with them and then the tank being different. When I tested the water it was still at a very high nitrate level. He's in a seperat tank and can tell his stress level is down. Cleaned fuval pump/filter out and doing partial water changes twice a week to try and get the tank levels down. Thanks again for the video. I searched all over and yours was the most informative i found. if he doesn't improve in the next couple days might try the salt/epsom salt trick.
Thank you so much hope he gets better
Best teacher....I learn better when I laugh and learn at the same time....
BTW, epsom salt is very effective.
Discus do block up (not bloat or hex) and epsom salt cleared their poo within 4-6 in most cases.
I agree. I feed my discus all high protein foods. One food is over 60% protein. Never had bloat or digestive issues. Never had Hex issues. Pristine water quality and immaculate tank hygeine is important!!!
Hey Jay. Found your segment ( as we talked about yesterday). Just like you can add MSM to their food, so can you add Magnesium. I like to use Magnesium Chloride find their favorite food, let it soak up. Magnesium is a laxative when given more than needed, so don't over do it constantly as they will poop out beneficial gut bacteria as well.
I would feed them probiotic feed after cleaning them out. Safe travels back to TX.
Bruce Leichtman I use north fin and NLS plus some your fish stuff flakes. That is me and it works. Take a picture or a small video and share it.
Congrats on the 1k + subs. Rescape looks awesome. Great info as always bro.
I learned something tonight, thank you! I had always heard bloat was caused by to much protein as well. Good to know just keeping my fish happy will help keep it away. I always tell my friends with cichlids change 1/3 of your water every 3 days, 80 deg. and 8.0 ph. nice and simple and the fish will love it! Congrats on 1000... I just hit 60 WOO-HOO!!!
NCmike1969 congrats bud
every 3 days? your system is flawed and inefficient
great information jay! always fun to watch you videos for information and see awesome looking fish in the background!
What timing...just had a fish start to show signs of what could be bloat, not positive, but somethings definitely out of the norm. Thanks for the info,always appreciated.
Good video jay.👍thanks for always good imformation...can you do one video and tolk about sunken belly. And give some tips for prevent please🙏...regards
Great info man I've never personally had the issue of bloat but it's best to no how to prevent / cure keep up the good work Jay Wilson
what's up jay. watched a couple of your videos now. They all look cool. Thanks for showing the fish, they look really COOL. How cold does your garage get? Do you have to run a couple heaters in it? I was thinking of starting up a grow up tank in my garage. Any pointers?
awesome vid man , id love for you to do a vid for many of the common illnesses , im one year in and i think Ive treated almost 10 different types so far!
MrCsup whats another you want.
Jay Wilson types of fungi and how it can be contracted / treated , still having trouble with my 2 discus , they cant get rid of it
Thanks for the information.
You are very welcome
Congrats jay on the 1000 subs.
Ive been having an issue. My fish stop eating,some had white poop so didnt,either hang out on top or to them selves on the bottom,gasping or coughing like symtoms.no bloating what so ever.they get darker near the end.
What the Hell is IT? LOL
I'm so glad. So Malawi 'bloat' is caused by stress and bad water quality and not high protein food. However, do fish get bloat if they have a visible large stomach? I'm worried because I accidentally dropped too much fish food into the tank. :(
+AverageAsian HD remember when a fish holds a lot of food in their mouth they struggle to breathe causing stress.
Great video.. Straight to the point.. Bloat sucks and if someone hasn't experienced it at least one, then they are lucky
Great vid. My duboisi had bloat for the last 2 weeks. I used the syringe method with epson salt directly in the mouth for the last part of the week an worked like a charm. Just subbed ya.
great information. thanks for taking the time to make it
Hey Jay, awesome video!!! What would you do if you go on vacation for like 2 weeks to feed your fish without getting bloat? Automatic feeder?? My tank is pretty big, 265 gallons african cichlids..Thanks...
if the cichlids are tank raised is there less of a chance of bloat? I assume most are tank raised these days.
No I think based off of quality of fish and water along with stress plays the biggest roll.
Do malawi bloating infect other fish in the tank ????
It can if there is stress
Ok 👍🏻 tank you for the answer 😊
Sharfin Bean you are most welcome.
Thank you! This was informative and quick to the point.
Thanks for the great info Jay... I enjoyed it!
good info for the cichlid folks, nice video man
Jay Wilson thank you so much for all ur help I really appreciate it.
No problem that's what we are all here for bud. No matter what.
im so fucking psyched to take care of the fishes i dont have. im so excited. you pepped me up. that fire. d*amn.
Good video man!
dahlyvh I hope so
Great information
I put in the Epsom Salt/Salt and raised the tank temperature. How many days is the treatment? Can I feed during the treatment?
I have 1 out of my 12 cichlids (A Demasoni) showing the classic signs of Bloat...spitting food, lethargic, hiding, white stringy poop. My Nitrate and Ammonia levels are at nearly 0ppm every time I test (I have the fish store test once a week or so). My tank is a 75 gallon, I am pumping about 700gpm using Marineland HOB filters (2x penguin 350s). My tank has what I would think are plenty of hiding spaces, so much so I had to dismantle my decor to catch the sick fish. All of the fish tend to appear happy and calm for the most part and I see no physical signs of the affected fish being bullied. I generally alternate foods between cichlid pellets, blood worms and "emerald entree" which is a bunch of shrimp and vegies. I have had 2 other Demasoni fish die from this same problem a few months ago...all of the other fish are/seem fine. What the hell am I doing that is making the Demasoni sick? Oh, water PH is usually right around 7 also...I am at a loss.
+Jared Gaiser could just be their breeder or the line
Great video. I was told to soak pellets in API general cure solution. What you think/\?
Try it. Why not , this is an every evolving hobby and no one trick is a perfect fit for the same issue.
Epsom salt and Clout or one and not the other?
I just ordered 2 tank raised peacocks but also ordered 3 wild caught plecos, and of course I don't have a holding tank. do catfish get bloat?
I'm sure they can
Thanks
Valerie Storm i
You need a reality show 🤣🤣🤣
great vid brother. very informative!
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO !
Correct. I agree with you 100%.
Good info jay, I haven't had this in like 2 years thou
hi I keep Trops and when one gets it I will lose 2 or 3 at a time pissing me off
lusean vanhorn are you feeding correctly
Hey Jay can you make a video on cichlids stomach curving in please and what it is
man that star sapphire is lookin awesomeeeeeeeee
“His butthole is big” 😂 god I love my cichlids
Is this for fresh water gold fish?
+Roy Lewis bloat is relevant but not as predominant as in African cichlids
Jay I bought cichlid at pet store and it been bloated I've been feeding veggie pallets and using aquarium salt like 5 teaspoons
Less stress and hope for the best
***** no problem I'm here to help.
Jay Wilson no I had him for 10 months, I really dnt know what happened:(, another thing I forgot to say is that I just started to give them some cobalt spirulina flakes 2 times a week so I dont know if thats the prob..I took my fish to my friends house cuz I dnt have an xtra tank, for how long should I put the salt and should I do water changes in between?
Raise the temp 82 do the salt and try not to stress him out anymore bud he needs time to relax. No more movement. Do water change weekly and hope for the best. Metro your old tank
I love ur tank big guy. Beautiful
how do I know if a fish is pregnant or with bloat
+Walter R. Most African cichlids are mouth brooders they keep it in their mouth so their Billy's don't get big.
Depending on the kind of fish, they either just lay eggs and protect them or carry them in their mouths. Fish not carrying eggs or fry will still eat . Mouth brooders will not eat while carrying their fry, but you can see the eggs or fry in their mouths pretty easily. If your fish is not a mouth brooder and it is not eating, it is sick.
Hi, my fish has bloat and I need help. She is in the tank by herself and she is bloated. Is it okay to medicate her while she's in her regular tank.? I don't have a different time for her to be medicated in so I need help as soon as possible
Yes you can
+Jay Wilson Yay I will try to get her OK again any good advice?
is there any way to remove the parasite altogether
omniXenderman This is a touchy subject I believe so yes
Jay Wilson I forgot to ask u,should I be using the salt everyday or just once a week?thank you again your the man!
well done !
Where can I order Tangerine Haps
Check out my videos on where to order fish
great video
GOOD INFO THANKS
Old video but I had to euthanize the fish. He was a year old. Water is perfect. No other fish in the 120 picked on him but he was in bad shape. 50% wc every week. Water tests great. Maybe a fluke.
Check out this video on RUclips:
BLOAt !!!!!!!
Malawi Bloat!
Hi, i think my fish jave bloat breathing heavely stay in one spot sometimes and dont eat. Jw dont have a hospital tank and what was that 50/50 salt? So how do that work. If u can pm or comment back asap it be great and thanks for the vid like and sub you.
Great information JW
Bloat
LOVE UR TANK, LOVE YOUR FISH & thank you for the info... ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Awesome video. Never Had it. But as you mentioned its all about proper maintenence thanks for clearing some misconceptions
hahahahaahahha
hi Jay, im an avid fan. i need help for my female eye biter. shes been having like a bloated belly. but its been 6 months already. she eats and swim as normal fish but the thing is she has a very big belly. she ates lot . i tried minimizing her food but still nothing happens. i tried grabing her and pressing it. its very hard like a stone. i would apprecite it if you could help me.
Sounds like a growth. Is she eating okay? Swimming okay?
Informative video but….Why are you yelling?
Horrible microphone lol
I agree, but now I feel bloated.
Jay Wilson yeah I really dont understand why my fish got bloat, my water parameters are fine ph8.2, ammonia 0, nitrite0 and nitrate is 10ppm and what I feed my fish is xtreme food pellets, u said 1/2 cup empson salt and 1/2 cup table salt?
No it was a mistake and corrected on screen. It could have been stressed did you just get him? Multiple reasons. It's 50/50 in a half of a cup per 10 gallons.
Ur a funny guy, I like watching ur videos sir
Fish look great cool music
I have used just Epsom salts alone successfully treating bloat. But do it quickly folks! As soon as you realise something is up get that fish into your hospital tank! Early action = fish survives!
Currently,I have a compressorcep who going through the same thing poor little guy
Thanks for watching.
Is that the se tank that u put universal rock in? Did it not hold up?
Jay. I'm watching your videos in order and noticed your scaping changed but I do t recall you mentioning you were changing. What did you do with the fake holey rock ? I see you have rocks on this video?
+Frankie Kennneth I kept switching. I got a bigger tank eventually as well. I gave the hokey rock away.
thanks Jay Wilson im almost decided on getting in with a 6 ft 150...where do you recommend
I buy a stand for it? the place I am getting the tank ran out of Stands.
Nice video jay congrats on the followers
I just book marked this video, it's very informative and it's just regular bloat? Who knew.
+Kay Skywalker thank you
Very energetic video brother with all the right information! No fluff here for sure. I'm glad that this information is now out for the community to "digest" (pun intended).
Hit the nail on the head. 80% of bloat is water quality. I have it at the minute due to poor water.
Thanks good luck
TRUTH jaywill style. Take it to the bank. Congrats on the subs. Many more to come.
Nice aquarium Jay!
Thank you so much
J Spalding thanks for noticing.
Congratulations on the 1,000 subs! All well deserved.
Where can you buy clout at?
Hard right now. FDA is being Weiner’s.
cyberaquarist thank you sir
Love the video. Your teaching style is right up my alley! Subbed.
ugh... unsubscribed
Thank you for letting me know. It allows me to grow and become better. Thanks for watching while you did.
+Jay Wilson sorry man, but all you fish channel guys are losing it.... seemingly too concerned with entertaining us, being a "host", just trying to impress manufacturers so you get free stuff. I highly doubt there is a single hobbyist who subscribes to be entertained. I subscribe to be educated, and haven't learned anything from you in over a year, so.... have "fun", but expect your audience to dwindle unless the value comes back. Peace and good luck.
+Chris Locke my role in the hobby is always been the honest fun and informative I also get back to the community in many ways my job is not to be a host I do appreciate the positive feedback and I do hope you find exactly what you're looking for. If my sole purpose was to entertain to get free products from every manufacture I wouldn't have to spend a dime in the hobby and I do spend quite a bit of money in this hobby but thank you again for subscribing my channel for well over year.
+Jay Wilson ok man, you've nearly convinced me to re-subscribe... I guess Im just a little frustrated with content lately - tempts me to make videos, too. Again, I, and surely countless people have learned lots about our beloved hobby from people like you, and I guess my frustration without learning anything new lately gave me an attitude this morning watching your video. If I could make just one suggestion, itd be less face-to-camera talk, and more show-and-tell educating, learn-by-example programming, please! :) Ok, I'm resubscribing, thanks for responding and being honest, setting me straight!
I don't want to set you straight. All of us have an idea of what we want out of RUclips and this community and I try to listen and adapt to all my viewers. If you are unhappy with something telling me only will make my channel better. Be upset is one thing but talking it out and finding that common ground were we can agree to move forward and give you the knowledge your looking for his much better. Thank you for staying subscribed. Have a great week.
Congrats on 1k subs! Good info.
Congrats
I love the fact that you are sharing great information with fellow hobbyists and I watch your channel once in awhile even though I tend to find your electric personality a bit annoying. Thank you for doing what you do ! :)
Regarding bloat I have been keeping Tropheus for years and once in a blue moon I have had to deal with bloat regardless of how clean my tank water was, the one thing that kept it from spreading was a combination of Metro and Epsom salts. As long as I started treatment immediately I was okay, it's hesitation that can lead to more deaths. In my own opinion I do believe over feeding can be a factor, and if you follow a normal feeding schedule where less is more you will be better off.
Water quality is extremely important but I think it is also important to not state unachievable goals to your viewers. That fact that some people are able to achieve a zero nitrate reading is really quite impressive but most aquarists will find it nearly impossible to obtain an ongoing reading of zero. My point is that the basic reality is that a regular reading of 5-20 ppm is a more practical goal for the majority of hobbyist fish keepers and even this may be hard to maintain for some.
Love your tank. looks amazing. I myself have a 187 gallon tank, and i think i have had bloat in it. i do change my water regulaly tho, and this is why i am abit puzzeled about why they got it. Stress i also dont get, since notthing had changed for a long time, and they had been fine. I really liked your video tho, and it helped me out alot. lots of facts that was hard to find anywhere else. Thanks alot! Greetings from Denmark
lol youre the man
Thank you.
subbed dude. keep fighting the good fight.
Wait so jay, for your tank, you'd need 7 cups of epsom salt? Wouldn't that be around 4 pounds of epsom salt? That sounds like a lot. Good video again
I Can't tell If My African Cichlid Has Malawi Bloat, He's only about 3 inches but looks kinda different and fat how can i tell?
Thanks for the info as my friends Electric Yellows have bloat so now I know how to help them.
Great video Jay. Can i reference this video on my channel?
Yes you may
Dude you are the MAN great info... so funny:]
