Hi all
I bought two new fish at the weekend, two swordtails. One is not looking too good. She sits at the bottom of the tank or under a rock for most of the day and looking at her her belly looks sunken. I've looked at the pinned topics and it suggests it may be internal papasites or fish TB or bacterial infection.
I've checked the water parameters and all is OK - Nitrite and ammonia zero, Nitrate 12.5mg/l, pH 8.5 (same as our tap water). She is eating although she does not swim to the surface with the rest of her buddies but waits mid tank for bits to fall past her.
Has anyone had a similar experience, what can I do for her?
Thanks
