One Of Our Dwarf Neon Rainbow Female Is Sick

I'm not vey good with disease but she could possibly have an intestinal prolapse (intestine protruding through the anus). Given the numbers of fish bred in far east fish farms these days, she could possibly have worms which caused the prolapse. If this is the case, the whole tank will need to be treated.

If any other member has any ideas, listen to them as well, as I say I'm not very good with identifying diseases.



If the consensus is worms, there are few medications to think about.
There are two types of worm, round worms and flat worms.
eSHa ndx kills round worms and eSHa gdex kills flat worms. These are both safe in a tank with shrimps and snails. Because of the way they are dosed, with two or three courses and water changes after a couple of days, these two can be used with the second between the courses of the first.
NT Labs Anti Fluke & Wormer and Maidenhead Aquatics own brand AquaCare Anti Fluke & Wormer kills both types but also kills shrimps and snails.

Keeping my fingers crossed for the beautiful fish (and sorry that I can't advise further beyond what Sue has helpfully done).
