So I've had a gold dojo that's been getting pale and recently starting getting sluggish and stopped eating. Today I noticed she had a white cottony substance around her mouth which based on the research I did I'm pretty sure was cotton mouth. I ended up euthanizing the fish because she seemed to be in bad shape 
what I'm curious about though is what steps I can take to make sure it doesn't spread. So far no one else is showing any signs of anything. It's a 50 gallon tank, no nitrites, no ammonia, ~10ppm nitrate and is kept around 72-74F. The inhabitants are Danios, Swordtails, Bristlenose Pleco, Weather loaches, ghost shrimp, cherry shrimp and misc. snails. I do weekly changes of 5 gallons and treat the new water with Prime.
