Hi everyone, I really need your help on this one.
My female swordfish is ill and I think it's contagious as I had two male die recently and they showed similar symptoms. She doesn't show any external symptoms other than appearing a bit off colour and keeping her tail slightly lower than before. She moves much slower and hides a lot.
When the first male showed those signs I thought it was exhaustion from being hunted down by the bigger male so I put him in my other aquarium but he still died quite fast. Then followed the other male who also died quickly after showing those symptoms. After they died I checked their bodies for any symptoms but I couldn't notice anything. And now she's sick
The other two females and ottocinclus that I have in the same aquarium seem totally healthy, should I take them out and put them in my molly aquarium or do I risk my other fish getting ill as well? I just bought a breeding net so I can also isolate her in the same aquarium. I'm also going now to test again the water in the aquarium and post the results although when I did it a month ago, the results were fine.
