do take care of the water parameters during this period of time, n if possible discountinued feeding. feed it one last meal n then stop it
medicate for about 2-3 weeks without food n see how
make sure water tempreture is set to 30 - 32 n wc every 3 days once

yes did every you said above. i only feed MP without shell for now. i also thinking to add a uv light in the tank too. what medicine should i add ? recently i use melafix+pimafix+epsom salt.

Hi,

Just curious, what did you feed before the symptom occur? Dry prawn/shrimp?
I guess you should switch to even fine food that can be pass out easily. Like meal worm which had shed skin. For mp, even though it is without shell, it has to be digest and maybe the poo is bigger, that why the tear again,PA before it can recover. Feed it something soft, at least for the time being.

i thnk what u are using is good enough
uv light doesnt really play any role in that
try not to feed at all and see

Bro, PA takes 2-3mths to recover provided you've good water condition.

If you have intro melafix for about a mth, then stop it. Have you 20% of WC 4 days once with salt added. As this will helps to bring back the water condition to again as well as to slowly adjust your aro's appetite.

Feed lesser cricket and sw for the time being. Soft feeders like molly and froggies will help.
