What do you feed your fish and how often? Any swelling? Anything else sticking out of her backside, other than poo?

 

[mikeyy_lol]

Feed frozen daphnia/bloodworm/brineshrimp/whiteworm and flake food / frog pellets.
Nothing else coming out doesn't look like camallanus can't see any swelling either.

Did they recently have a disease because mine did that for weeks after they healed

No, they haven't I've read that anaerobic antibiotics will work and not affect the filter, does anyone know any that are available in the uk?

Thanks

How often do you feed your fish? What quantities?

Did you add any new plants, food or décor to the aquarium in the last 4-6 weeks?

Does she have a sunken belly?

At the moment, it sounds like constipation.
