i don't know but yesterday i saw 2 of my tetras beaten up thought nothing of it since you know there might have been a nasty fight in the middle of the night. but this morning she looks like shes deteriorating. my black skirted tetras always breed like mad men. so i dont know wat would make her have this problem i doubt she will live and i know its a female bc she was full of eggs. it may be she exploded with eggs but is still alive??? i do have a balloon molly that has something on her chest but it looks like scales that have been fought off but is still attached ill try to get a pic but the 6 gallon tank is scratched and its the only tank i hav at the moment that doesnt have fish in either qt or doesnt have a filter.

i cant find my charger for the camera if u want a pic ill have to go through my phone right now but it literally looks like she exploded from the inside where her butt would be at. all my fish poop i check and they all seem good i feed them peas once a week. all my fish eat and seem very healthy. water is good nothing wrong with it. nitrite 0, ammonia 0, nitrates 0, ph 6.8. im looking for the charger for the camera and take pics. she seems fine even tho shes got a hole on her stomach. the only reason i saw is bc she had some white stuff hanging out of her like guts of a fish.

The guy at the fish store said it might be a fish bullying them as its only my community fish. My discus, knifes, eels, angels, and my rams are doing fine. The guy said it might be the angel since its new and that the tank might be to small at this point. So im going to care for my community in a 6 gallon then see if my male betta is okay in my 100 for a week then start slowly moving my healthy community in there.

Pilli I would take the angels back if I were you, they can be a royal pain when they get bigger.

Dose the whole tank with the wound ease I sent you, it will help the healing process. a 1/2 dose of meth blue along with that should fix the fungus without bothering anyone too much.
Just one time on each should fix them up if they are fixable. Pull any carbon out of the filter too.

Ok full dose of both should fix them up! The meth blue will kill the fungus off and the wound ease will help healing and help prevent secondary infections.
