Swollen back end on my Dojo

Post by loachioto » Mon Jan 23, 2023 8:28 am

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with one of my Dojo loaches.

Basically, a couple of weeks ago, the back end started to swell up. It also has what looks like some blisters forming. I have 3 other loaches in there which seem fine, and behaviourally, I don't see any change. He is still active, eats food, etc.

I usually do a water change a couple of times a week (30-40% or so)

I have attached some pictures. Any advice would be appreciated.

The premise is straightforward: you're a spinning blade falling through a vertical level filled with destructible objects.

I recommend that you separate the swollen loach into a separate tank, monitor it closely,Poor Bunny check the water quality, and consider consulting an aquatic veterinarian soon!
