An Almost Complete Tank Wipeout

[WILDER]

Want to look at flukes as they can cause bacterial infections.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.
Did any of the fish have holes in there gill flaps.
Flukes can cause softing of the spine

Signs of flukes are.
Pale gills with excess mucas, red inflamed gills.
Opaque body with excess slime.
Flicking and rubbing.
Erratic swimming.
Gasping at surface or laboured breathing.
Sometimes weightloss.
Swimming in a jerky movement.
Spitting food out.
Sores on the body of the fish.
Bacterial infections.

If there no signs of flicking inflamed gills are bacterial gillrot.

I guess the problem is that all these diseases (I did read quite a bit before I started posting) all have parts which fit and parts without. I haven't seen any mucas or slime....

Maybe I have a combination of problems and that is why I have so much difficulty?? Gill flukes does sound possilbe though so I have slowly started to add some salt to the tank. (one teaspoon a day until I have 3 teaspoons in my 58litre?)

Stilll have the lemons but one isn't eating.

OK, the lemon who had the popeye etc and the little patch of columnaris I dont think is going to make it. He is bent from about halfway down his body so his tail is off to one side, his scales look to be sticking out a little, is breathing very fast and losing balance/most of the time lying on the floor. :'( Part of his head ( near the bit with th columnaris) has gone really black....

On one of the ones still looking healthy, there is a stringy poo. This is not the kind of constipated stringy poo I have seen on my goldfish before, it is a quie long but very very thin white thread.

Does this mena internal parasites?

Ok its a mess.
Sounds like fish tb to me the systoms are pilling up.
Only thing you can do is try and get antibiotics like tetracycline, or minocycline.
R.I.P.
