Nymox Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 My fighter coby has had some kinda loose white (looks like general sorta muck that gets stirred up from the bottom) thing hanging out of his gills, I thought it was just a bit of something stuck there but it seem to be irritating him today and hes started breathing on the surface a lil more in the last hour. He'll rub on the driftwood then shoot off rapidly for another breath. I might be over reacting but rather safe then sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Sorry I don't know whats the problem But if it's fallen off i'd be inclined to do a really good gravel vaccum - have you got any other fish in this tank? are any of them showing any signs of the same problem?
