Hi, all! I don't know if this necessarily constitutes as an emergency so I apologise if it doesn't, but I'm worried about both my 100L and 300L tanks. I lost a pleco from the 300L a week ago. He was very off colour and thin. I've also lost a few of my tetras from my 100L tank even though they showed no signs of anything being wrong with them. I've been carrying out big water changes weekly and thoroughly vacuuming the gravel so I don't think it's bad water quality. It's probably best to note that my loaches have been flashing too even though there's nothing about their appearance that particularly concerns me (don't look skinny or have white spot) but they've got to be flashing for a reason. I added a wormer to both my tanks a few days ago as they were due one just to make sure it's not anything internal.
Below are some pictures. They're the best quality I could get and he wasn't keeping still much which was a pain.






Sorry if they're not clear. I'm worried about the mouth and the top and bottom fins. Can you guys see why I'm concerned? Or am I just seeing things? He does seem skittish and he's at the bottom of the tank more than usual, which is unlike him.
If I had to guess, I'd say it was a rot or fungus of some kind, but I can't be sure. Is it mouth fungus I'm dealing with? If so, can anybody recommend some good medicine? Bear in mind it'll have to be suitable to use with loaches in the tank, who I know are sensitive.
My fish are important to me and I love my gourami/loaches especially so I'd really appreciate some immediate advice. I'll be ordering some medicine ASAP.
Thanks, guys!
