Hey Guys,
I haven't been on in quite a while. I have a 55 gallon tank it's been up and running for over five months. All water params are fine, etc. I bought some new fish and two days later one was dead when I woke up and there was a perfect circle missing from her stomach with babies exposed. She had shown no prior signs of anything. My tank is ICH FREE, that I"m sure of. Been there done that unfortunately. I don't know if she died and her stomach was eaten due to someone eating her babies after she died or what. Anyway it's been about a week I would say and now this morning my swordtail isn't well. He has white mucus looking stuff coming from one eye and around the very outsides of his fins appear to have lost some color almost looking clear. They don't look as if they are rotting. My husband is bringing me home some fungal medicine I can't remember the name it starts with a P. He's also looking for some medicated food for me. I did a 50% water change this morning put BK (the swordtail) elsewhere and added some table salt. I don't know if salts help this or not. I think it's cute he's my 5 year old sons fish and he named him Brave Knight so we call him BK. Any advice is greatly appreciated as I am leaving Monday for a week. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
