My ACF made a pig of herself yesterday on four guppies, she now has a severely distended abdomen( ive discounted bloat as its only her belly which is swollen) and was floating in her tank, only sand in her tank so she hasnt swallowed any pebbles, ive placed her in a bucket with some salt in. Is there anything else i can do for her?
 
Never rely with them but I would suggest lowering its temperature, because it tends to make them "poop". Just a suggestion.

Hey Ian,
Not sure which forum you frequent more so I will post here too...

Is it possible to post a picture?

Also, for a salt bath - what kind of salt did you use, how much salt, how many gallons of water and for how long did you leave the frog in..


it should also be asked - where did you get guppies from? Were they home raised and quarantined, pet store bought and quarantined or just bought from the store and added in?

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
