I have this very old swordtail maybe 3-4 years, and she has a thing on her eye and is very scared… what is it? Is she just getting old?
the white part is the thing I amtalking about
Fish thing on eye?
- Thread starter Sgooosh
- Start date
Maybe I'm just plain blind or something... Or too inexperienced to see anything but it looks fine?
Maybe some better photos of what you're talking about?

Here is a high quality video. It is actually on the gills now...
I think the fish is irritated by something so the white stuff is mucous...

It's hard to see, but her overall look is of an elderly fish losing weight. I hate seeing that, but you only see it with a fish that has been well cared for for a long life.

noooo
what is the thing out of her gills though? will a salt treatment help?
i've definitely had her for a LONG time
I can't see anything specific on the eye or gill. The gill is flared out, but she has lost weight.

I see. I did not do anything extra, and today she passed away
RIP Shark (somewhere before2020)-2022,11/5/2022
well at least her genes live on... she had at least 20 swordtail babies
I'm sorry - I've had a few that lived long, and you get attached. The signs of old age can drop like a curtain on them.
