I have a new male swordtail. Today his lips look white. Is it a disease or an injury? Everyone else in the tank is great. I've only had him for a few days?
White lips?

Hard to tell. Does it look like puffy cotton or just white colored?
I have a few fish that have had white around their mouths for a long time. At first I was worried that it was fungus. But I am sure now that it isn't. Fish are fine and that is the only white on them.
:huh:

Im guessing cotton mouth or its just its normal colouring. Can you provide anymore info on your tank?
white lips
I have a 180 gl tank with
4 swordtails 2 orange 2 red
16 neons
3 angels
2 red tip cats
1 beta
3 large plecos
about 40 baby swords in breeder tank
I just switched over to small tropical fish from 3 large oscars.
The sword has since passed. Can a fish swallow something and choke? I found out my son fed them small cichlid pelletes instead of the flake food I have. No other fish looks even remotely ill. It was not puffy at all. Just like the lips lost the color.

Maybe its nothing then. Or maybe its just stress. Test your water just to be safe. And keep en eye on it. But if it starts to swell or spreed come back here and we will give you more info.
