Fish Crazy
hey guys, not posted on here for a while but i recently got a new tank set up and thought id pop back.
i had a couple of deaths in my new tank; lost 2 guppies and a platy which im putting down to whitespot which i think was introduced from one of the lfs's that i got my new fish from. (i stocked my tank from about four separate places).
ive since treated the whitespot with salt and heat and the rest of the fish are doing better now but theres one guppy that im still concerned about. he seems active and is eating and isnt acting out of character but hes looking pretty bloated and his gills look open. im quite sure hes been like that since i got him, but im unsure if hes gotten bigger or if his gills seem 'wider'. he doesnt have sticking out fins and like i said he seems happy enough, so im ruling out dropsy but i thought id upload some pics and see what the community thought. sorry about the quality but im yet to master fish photography
