I've read up on fish TB and although it sounds like the most likely, there are no other symptoms except for the bent spine. Our swordy died this morning. I have read that they can develop open sores, white blobs on the body, red poo, red bottom. No sores, no white blobs, red bottom very very...

Just managed a couple more photos.

Hi all I have been sent over here from the Livebearers section to see if someone can help. This was my message: Our swordy, we have had for quite a while now, has developed a strange problem. She has become humpbacked which makes her belly appear sucked in and she stays at the bottom of the...

Our swordy is quite large and so was the molly that died. The filter doesn't bother any of the fish, even the babies. We are going to the shop shortly so will see what treatments they have. I know we will probably lose swordy so it would be great to find a treatment for the other fish. I don't...

Hi all Over the last couple of weeks we have had babies die. Some days none but most days 1 or 2, mainly the mollies which I believe are more likely to suffer but we have lost about 5 swordys and a couple of guppies. They seem to have no tail left so we have been treating them for a week with...

Hi all I've attached a photos of the guppy in question, it's a little out of focus but you can see the spot. This is during the day, so imagine at night that it's almost gone. Very very weird. We have various dry foods, no live food as our supplier has not been able to get any for us yet. (we...
