A Few Problems With Various Fish

[Avinitlarge]

Tiger Barb
One eye has gone mouldy and the other eye is bulging

Angel Fish
Covered in white sticky out things, Used white spot treatment but not cured the problem

Black Widow
Mouth is stuck wide open

This isnt an illness but a problem, We have 3 large feather fin cat fish and 1 very large white lined pim, One of the feather fins bullies the other 2 feather fins but both of the larger feather fins and the pim are fighting quite alot, Its only got bad over the past few days

Check your water parameters it could be contaminated.

exactly what do you mean by an eye has gone moldy? Do you mean it has been cloudy, or that there is fungus stuff growing off of it?

If you look in the tetra's mouth, does it look like there is anything stuck in it or an ulcer?

Also, need to know ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, tank size, and tank mates. Also how long has the tank been set up for?

I'm working on the white things, but it sounds like a parasite. What ich medicine did you use?

Cloudy, Thats the word i was looking for. Cant see anything in the black widows mouth but its bottom lip has a black lump on it. I added some more white spot treatment last night and the angel fish has cleared up a bit but it has holes on its head. The tank has been setup for about 11 months with no problems

If the eye is bulging you have popeye, plus if you have a bump on the lip that could be bacterial as well.

Plus the holes on the head did it look like pitting, pencil dints.

Hexamita (a.k.a. Hole-In-The-Head)



Symptoms:

Indications for this disease are small holes in the body, particularly the head. These develop into tubular eruptions. Other symptoms may include yellow strings of mucous, which may trail from the lesions around the head. Sick fish may lose their appetite and become emaciated (sunken belly region). Their colors may fade and pale, stringy feces may also be observed.



Cause:

The flagellate Hexamita. This parasite infects the gallbladder, intestines and blood stream. Fibrosis of the gallbladder may occur as a result of infection. Low-level infestations may exist for quite some time unnoticed. Cichlids and Gourami are the species most commonly afflicted with this disease.



Treatment:

The medication Metronidazole (Flagyl). This infestation is contagious, therefore, all fish in the tank should be treated.
