For a while now, my fish have been scraping up against the wood. Some days they do, some they don't.
It is generally they gills, and when a fish does this scratching, it goes into a frenzy like its in pain.
Today (well, last night) I noticed that my Male Firemouth has a slightly opened gill. He won't give me a good look, but it is about 2mm further out than it usually is. And I can see a small amount of white tissue around the edges of the inside part.
He won't give me a good look at it, and certainly not a photo.
I do not want my fish to die.
I am concerned they others have this infection too (a little less intense but still...).
I Haven't yet googled much, as I'm sure there are a lot of diseases/parasites out there.
Please help with some ideas! :-?
(and treatment if possible)
