We just got some new fish last weekend. And its strange, out of all of them, the swordtail seemed really healthy and energetic.
But...he's now in fishy heaven. :(
I got home last night and saw him zoom to the top for air, like he REALLY needed it. I thought that was wierd cause I thought they got air through their gills. We fed them and later I noticed him at the bottom of the tank, almost like he had to fight to stay there. Then, I walked by again and saw him stuck to the filter intake. :( He got loose and I saw that the end of his tail looked like he had a beginnings of ICH, his eyes were bulged and he already had a bruise on his side from the filter.
Poor little thing. We also got a gold/orange Molly from the same tank and she seems really lost without the swordtail. Poor thing.
Any ideas?? The Ph is fine, temp is fine.
