Remove fish

[ricardo]

When Tropheus get bloat is not just as easy to remove the effected fish and put into hospital tank.

Problem with bloat is That it is likely there is more than one fish affected, therefore best option is to treat the whole tank. If you catch it early and treat it then you shouldn’t lose fish, if you start removing individual fish then you will just make more work for yourself when others start falling ill!

Agreed.
If you have a large tank you can reduce the water level so you don't have to treat as much water.
Metronidazole 500mg for every 10 gals for 8-10 days with a 50% daily water change.

Never thought of partially reducing water level before treating 👍 but good idea.
