Sadly I lost one of my Kubotai Rasbora last night - he/she was swimming oddly, in circles, not eating and eventually dropped onto a plant.
Unfortunately I had to do the humane thing at put it out if it’s obvious discomfort.
With such a small fish I’m finding it difficult to diagnose the cause of the ailment, so I’m hoping those more experienced can assist.
The fish basically had a small white patch on its left flank just below the gill. It looks almost like physical damage, but could also be fungal. Pictures were difficult to take in tank so I rested it in a sieve:
My main concern is of course that this is nothing epidemic.
All the other fish seem fine, and I didn’t spot any issue with this fish on previous evenings.
I have discounted (perhaps wrongly) that this might be a parasite, as the tank has been treated for parasitic worms a few months ago with both Fluke Solve and eSHa-ndx.
The Kubotai’s can be pretty boisterous with one another, but I wouldn’t have thought they could inflict this much physical damage?
