Title: Zebra Chilumba Maison Reef holding but has bulging vent. Help!
Post by: Ace2324 on August 31, 2015, 12:31:23 PM

So this morning I saw that my WC Metriaclima Zebra Chilumba Female was holding. But it has a very swollen vent/anus area. Is this normal? Could it be malawi bloat?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

A few questions:
1. Was this her first spawn?
2. Is her stomach/abdomen swollen or just the vent/anus area?
3. Was she acting normal before this morning?
4. Does anyone else in the tank have a swollen stomach/abdomen, white stringy poop, or spitting food (all of it), twitching weird, or hiding?
5. Have you seen her poo lately; if so, was it normal?

Wait, the date on this says August 31. Is she ok now?
