Well, my male Sori has gotten sick. Practically overnight, it's amazing how fast they can get sick sometimes.
I don't have a camera, so I'll have to make do with description.
I think it's Columnaris or true fungus, I can't tell.
His fins have some pinholes in them. However, his white spotting isn't on his mouth, but rather his body. It does not look like a grain of salt. It looks like mold or fungus. It is not slimey looking, but rather you can see some hair-like filaments that are all about the same length and do not move. The spot itself is about 2mm big.
His water stats are fine (water volume is too small, and the water changes too frequent, to ever become un-fine), his tank is always heated at 80F.
He's such an old dude. All he does is sit all day, and he doesn't flare anymore or dart. I think his little immune system isn't doing much for him these days, because he's never gotten sick before.
*edit: his general coloring is paler than he normally is, or my eyes are tricking me. He's not his normal deep red color anymore. I can't tell if he's lethargic, as... you know, he usually is these days.
