I recently bought 3 swordtails and one rainbow shark and put them in my tank. The tank is a 55 and cycled these are the only fish.
So originally I thought they may have had an internal parasite because they have covered my tank with this white stringy poo. I've been monitoring them and it seems its stopped though. I think one swordtail female is pregnant or bloated I'm not sure.
The other has a bump on her tail and stays under the filter and doesn't swim with the other two. It comes out and swims around and then goes back to under the filter. They have been eating but usually only once the flakes reach the bottom ( I think this is because they are new to the tank and haven't gotten used to things) So what's going on?
