How Do You Cure 9 Month Old Red Capped Oranda Of Swim Bladder Problems?
Awww poor little oranda. I have done alot of research on this. Now there is no actual treatment for swim bladder disease, unfortunately, however there are a few steps you can take to try to help your fish work through it. It is an intestinal disorder so it’s a little bit delicate. First of all it’s imperative to almost stop feeding your fish and keep your water very, very, very clean. Things you can do to help them with this digestion in the mean time is to add a little bit of oriam salt, that’s non-iodized salt, not sea salt. You can also add a little bit of pimafix or melafix to the water. Pimafix is an anti-fungal but also used as holistic treatment in fish. The second, melafix is an anti-bacterial but also helps as a general remedy or general cure for fish. Just follow the dosing instructions because it will vary on the size bottle that you’re using. Other than that you can try feeding orange rinds or frozen peas which you can squeeze. These will also help them with this digestion.
