Harlequin

[doresy]

One of my Harlies lost part of its tail for no apparant reason, now he/she has disappeared completely!

Now for problen number 2:

Another of my Harlies has developed this sort of white crust (for the want of a better word) around one eye. No other symptoms, still feeding.

All other fish (see sig.) seem well and just done (another) water test,....Am. 0 Nitrite. 0 Nitrate. 40

Any ideas/help?......please

Here are pics

Never seen anything like it before.
Its definately hard looking and not fluffy.
Is the fish flicking and rubbing on objects.

Not flicking, acting sort of normal

Its hard to say what it is.
If there no flicking and rubbing and with the finrot I would treat it as bacterial for now.

Hi Doresy - sorry to hear you've been having trouble with your harlies, how are they now?

After a month (doesn't seem that long!) of the tank being clear of probs, I got 4 more on Friday to get them back up to 8. The 4 I had left seemed fine hanging with the lemons but look great now in a bigger group.

Hope yours are ok!
