Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): once getting home our big momma was basically laying at the surface not able to swim very well or stay at the bottom like bloat but she was not bloated just very pale and an extremely white stomach which when we left tank parameters were the same as when we got back. Our sterbi had passed away the day before no idea looks or condition before death. Then this morning our bristlenose pleco was found loading upright at the bottom of the tank appeared to look normal. I am so lossed and confused as to why my fish died.
