Bellys are still the white color, Although theres a lot of nipping now.

Most of the fish look like there about to poop but havent yet. I fed them some more peas this morning and nothing else. hoping they poop out the problem!

I'll take a picture with my next post, there hard to get good pics of.

The poop looks dark brown.

There like bleaching beneath the skin, almost like a bloating. I have a feeling that if this gets any worse the shoal is done for.

There starting to gasp a little.

Have you tried the peas.
All you can do is try a bacterial med.
Epson salt baths to help draw the fluids out.
