Stupid Qu, but how do you give it salts when in a community tank. will that not affect the other fish?

put him in a separate tub you only leave them in for a short period of time, I don't know a lot about it TBH

I've heard it's like 15 minute bath in Epsom salts for unstuffing the fish.

Uhh... that wasn't intentional, I meant for making the fish poop. I had several terms I could have used, "unblocking", "unclogging"...
I thought about a fish pooping like no tomorrow and couldn't describe it. LOL

unstuffing!

Maybe it's eating its own poop, which may be the reason you don't see it. (well, one of my fish has that stupid habit).
She's got to be eliminating something, if she keeps eating. It's odd if she doesn't flip to the side because of the bloating. But it could be a tumor in worst case.

I don't know what else you could try if epsom salts didn't work. Maybe salad? Boiled egg yolk (I doubt on this one)?

Sorry I haven't replied for a while. I have tried peas nd it hasn't helped. It is getting slower,. Dropped to the bottom of the tank today so I don't hold out much hope for it surviving long. I did buy health slats as I couldn't get epsom salts in my local supermarket but I am reluctant to try as it contains citric acid ??
