Prolapse, constipation, hemorrhoids, worms???

[Magnum Man]

Noticed this on a female Yellow Tail 3 days ago… been watching it… at 1st was brown, then turned reddish, it was twice this big, when I 1st saw it… it seems to be shrinking… the fish is still acting normally, eating normally… thoughts???

Suggest doing something different with my feeding routine???
Only fish I notice a problem with…

Can’t really tell the females apart… there was one the other day that looked egg lay-den to me, maybe was just constipated??? But if so, she had the males fooled, as they were all chasing her

They can do that just by swimming against strong current.

It's a hernia, basically. A weak abdominal wall giving out. There's nothing you can do to avoid or cure it.

What are you feeding the fish? I feed my fish dried flakes that have greens and other ingredients to help prevent constipation. Definitely feed well-balanced diets.

For the inflammation, I would try an antibiotic. I agree with GaryE, I don't think the hernia or hemorrhoid is curable now.

An antibiotic, such as doxycycline (Doxteric), is used to treat an infected hemorrhoid or infected tissue caused by a procedure to remove a hemorrhoid. API Fin and Body Cure has doxycycline in it.
