Eddie 48 Posted May 20, 2016 Ok. I found some duckweed locally. I can't get it until sunday. The person I am getting it from says it is mixed in with salvinia. Will that be ok? I'm not up on water plants and want to separate the two plants. Are they hard to tell apart? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmetzger72 6,976 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Update. The floaty ranchu is fine when I fast him but even feeding him peas gets him floaty for a few hours. ARGH! Not as much yawning on the 4th day of kana and metro. My black ranchu still bottom sits at night. Also looks like a mini cycle. So I dose safe until tomorrow's water change. Ed <')))>< Peas aren't always the best solution. They make some fish gassy. Have you tried frozen bloodworms? Good news about the yawning. Keep going with the meds per our plan. Keep testing the water daily. Edited May 20, 2016 by Jared 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 48 Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks Jared. I will feed them frozen blood worms tonight. I didn't know that about peas. Appreciate the help from everyone. Ed <')))>< 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed <')))>< Frozen bloodworms have some laxative benefits. I never give peas to my fish and none of them are floaty.

Eddie 48 Posted May 21, 2016 Ok. Since I'm picking up duckweed, I'll finish the treatment and feed duckweed as well. Fingers crossed it clears up whatever is bugging my fish. I caught 3 of them bottom sitting at the same time earlier today. Ed <')))>< 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
