Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): Two more fish acting strangely - one seems to isolate himself (not seeming to be picked on!) Occasionally will stop swimming and just float suspended in the water and slowly rotate forward until vertical and then right himself and swim away. Happening with two fish.

Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: ceramic media in a media bag (slightly too large, warped around), filter sponge. Stresscoat+ as dechlorinator.

Noticed the bubbles and for lack of a better word residue today.
 
 
Hi SamB,
After you've helped me I would love to help you out as well, not sure, but could those bubbles be eggs? I know, would be quite a lot of them, but that's all I could think of! Or moldy uneaten food?
