Here are the symptoms (Right now he's resting on a plant near the surface, nose up):

-Rapid mouth and gill movement
-Off balance swimming, can't control his swimming too well
-Long, white, stringy poop. (Still attached to him)
-Fins are flared
-Dark face
-Small bumps below dorsan on one side
-Bit of a swollen stomach

And the worst symptom:

-possible pine-coning (Dropsy?)

It looks as though they are just starting to push out.


I've already lost 2 fish this month (one gourami, one tetra), some of the symptoms were the same, while some were different (portruding/cloudy eyes)

I recently treated the tank with maracyn to get rid of some body fungus on one of the tetras who is now very healthy.



If I don't get a response soon enough...It looks like I might have to euthenize.
 
Do you have maracyn 2 I would try that if you can issolate her, but she sound it a bad way there are secondary infection there, the long white stringy poo is a bacteria infection probably, keep an eye on the other fish for long stringy white poo, can you post water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, what isze tank, which fish, and how many.
