Fish Fanatic
I have a rainbow shark about 2.5 inches in my 35 gallon, I have been sick past few days and just noticed today that he has something wrong with his mouth, looks like it's pushed in or something, He also has two small white lines beside his eye which looks slightly swollen compared to the other side, it also looks like some of the color is rubbed away around his eye, and his bottem lip looks like it hangs just a tad lower. It don't really look like mouth rot, seems to clean, almost looks like he should have been born that way. I dont have a clue what happen or when it happen. Just happen to look at him today. He is still eating, swimming normal, he hides a little more than he usally does. Do you think he could of got into it with my raphael cats?? When I tested my water I noticed my Ammonia is high (I have been putting off my water changes for about 1 1/2-2weeks from being sick going to do a couple tomarrow after work)
