Problem With Pregnant Swordtails

[les_251181]

The two swordtails i had in the breeding trap have been released after not giving birth to their fry yet. they both appeared fine last night, but today the green swordtails mouth is open, quite white on the lips and looks luke a lump on it?

and the orange swordtail has a similar thing on her left set of gills.

orange one feeding ok. green one not so much.

have put some anti-internal bacteria in the tank (interpet), but is there anything else i could do?

and what is the likely cause for this white stuff.

possibly stress, nibbling to get out of trap....

You should really of treat with anti fungus and finrot..

Thanks 5teady, will get some of that and treat immediately.

I wouldnt treat it straight away cos u added the other med, do a 50% waterchange, wait til the next day then do another 50% waterchange then start treatment...
