Ok I need some help here... I have a Jack Dempsey that has a bubble type object in the front of his mouth. Half comes down from the top lip and the other half comes up from the bottom and they meet in the middle. He hasn't been able to close his mouth because of this nor has he been able to eat. Also by his gills he looks like he is having a problem breathing. He is swimming around but not as much as usual. Oh yeah I forgot that his belly is like a white color possibly from the loss of oxygen. Has anyone heard of this? Can someone please give me some advice?
PH is kinda low and the Nitrates are just a little high
I do water changes every week.
I had a problem with the amonia and the PH being way to high and put some PH decreaser in and some stuff to take the amonia out and a 25%water change(Fish having problems before I done this)
He is in a 45 gallon tank by himself. Had another small Dempsey but he died from Ich about 2 weeks ago. Recieved small Dempsey (deceased)about 2 months ago.
