I dont think its because the other one has been chased to much because hes been doing it for a couple of days now...

White stuff?
Is it cotton wool like or smooth?

Swolen face?
is it inflamed/sore looking?

What are you water parameters?

Its cotton wool like... Its gone over the whole base of his tail now.. Im not sure of parametres because i get them checked at my lfs last time i got them checked they were all fine...


Umm the other one it does look inflamed he moves around sometimes but i mostly see him near the bottom looking like hes fighting for air...

It very much sounds like Fungus (Columnaris)
Signs; White or discoloured 'cotton-wool' patches on the skin or fins. Often accompanied by inflammation and skin erosion.

You should treat with an anti-fungal medication and also do a 50% water
change also add an aquarium salt to the water.
HTH.

Yes you treat the whole tank
As for how long that depends on the brand that you
are going to use. Thoroughly read the instuctions.
Do your water change before medicating

Well i went to look in the tank today only to find that he had past away... do you think i should still use the medicine on my tank? My fish dont seem to have any fungus but should i do it to jus make sure?

Mate!

 

[Aj86]

Anyone please?

Fungus is really only contagious if the other fish have some abrasions or injuries... if they seem unharmed, i wouldn't worry about it. However if you see any signs of fungus starting, treat right away.
