Hi Joe 

It sounds like a goiter.  They need to add iodine to their water and or
food.

Replace the rock salt with artificial seawater mix like instant ocean.

Subject: [Killietalk] This Person Needs Help

I posted a couple of threads about swollen gills on desert pupfish in the
general discussion before realizing I probably should be in this forum. We
are caring for Desert Pupfish that are showing signs of gill inflamation,
with red and swollen gills (some quite severe). It was suggested that the
tank is deficient of salts, and the additon of these might help the
situation. I have done a 20% water change with salt in the new water, but
today while I was watching them eat, it appeared that the two pupfish with
the most swollen gills would swallow food and have it exit their gills. Is
this possible? If so, is this indicative of something other than a salt
deficiency?
Thanks.

IF YOU CAN HELP, PLEASE GO TO THE BEGINNER'S CORNER ON THE AKA WEBSITE FORUM
AND LEND YOUR EXPERIENCE.  THANKS.
