Cardinal Tetra having sunken stomach

**winston77** · 18th Mar 2007, 17:59

Noticed that 3 of my cardinals are having sunken stomach. They look very thin. I have given Sera Mikropan, yet they are not eating much.

To what I understand, Fish TB has the same sympton, albeit more to that.

Is there anything else that can be done to help these cardinals?

My cardinal also, but still eating food. I got it from friend so I do not know what happen previously.

**gills** · 18th Mar 2007, 21:16

how long have you been keeping them?could it be due to shock that they are not eating or stress.

They been with me for around 1 year. Recently then realise that 3 of the cardinals are having sunken stomach.

I am afraid that it might infect the other 40++ cardinals and other faunas.

Maybe it the female that had laid eggs result having sunken stomach. I offen notice it with my tetra. No harm to them.

I doubt so. Noticed that 1 cardinal with a sunken stomach, having a lump there. Guess its really Fish TB.

Really no cure for Fish TB?

Treat with: Isoniazid + Kanamycin + Vitamin B-6.

Looks a bit complicated, can anyone advice on the above treatment or is there a particular single medication that is available on the shelf!!!
