You can use a bucket or a 10 gallon from walmart with an airline for a hospital tank. Have you contacted Dan (Seahorse Source)? He'd probably be more than willing to give you advice.

Oh, and make sure the bucket has never had any chemicals or anything in it but water, and rinse it really thoroughly.

I haven't called Dan yet, it was a long, tough week. I also put Galaxy back in with her sister, she looked so sad in that bucket. No change in status.

Do you have any diamox and neomycin.
The bloating is not normal and could be caused by a couple different things, I believe if you leave her untreated she will die. Internal Gas Bubble Disease (IGBD) and fluid retention, Are the two main causes. IGBD is a build up of gas in the tissues which usually cause buoyancy issues. Fluid retention or edema resulting from kidney failure. This is from the disease forum on the org. How is she eating now. Have you seen her poos, what do they look like. If they are white and stringy than she is not eating enough. |

I haven't seen any abnormal looking poos floating around. I don't know what she's eating, but this has been going on for a while now and her behavior appears perfectly normal. I think we're just going to keep on keeping on.

pH up to 8.2, I've slowly added a boatload of buffer.

Keep a close eye on your Alk. Most Ph buffers will also raise your Alk and that could lead to a tank crash if it gets too high.

She ate a mysis last night! I'm ready for a big serving of crow if this pH thing turns her around.

Eating normally, thank you everybody. Her belly is still big but maybe with time it will return to form. I let my pride get in the way of diagnosing the problem and as stated before I'm terribly sorry.
