Morning guys,
I picked up 8 Mosquito/Dwarf Rasbora (they were in same tank at LFS) on Saturday. Drip acclimatised for 1.5 hours. Tank is near 4 months old and heavily planted with external filter. Temp 26degC.
All but 1 were happily swimming around. I kept an eye on it but decided to leave him be in case I stressed it out even more. It still had its colour and nothing appeared obviously wrong except resting on the bottom.
Yesterday I could only spot 5 swimming about. I lost track of the poorly one from the day before.
1 was in the grass who looked lifeless but colourful. I decided to keep him in a net within the tank. Occasional yesterday he would freak out and dart around the net before lying on his side. I turned the light off to try calm him.
Ammonia “0” and nitrite “0”. Just in case I dosed an anti bacterial medication.
This morning I am faced with this on the fish. Never seen this personally before. Any idea what it could be? Ulcer?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
