As you can see...there is a white patch on top just in front of the pectoral fin that appears to be under the scales and white stuff coming from the mouth of this fish. One other fish, also a Black Neon, has the patch on top but nothing in the mouth. A third Black Neon has a few small white specs on its tail. Two Black Neons were found dead/dying when I got home from school today but neither appeared to be affected with white "stuff". All fish were placed in the tank yesterday.
