Greetings. I have enjoyed AA for the short time I have found it. Wonderful people and advice. I have a situation that I am not quite sure about.
Background info
6 convicts
2 male 4 female
2 females are albino
1 pair just had fry about 2 weeks ago.
1 female laid eggs but none were fertilized. She also had a swollen gland but disappeared after she laid eggs.
The female who has fry now also had the swollen gland but that also disappeared a little while after laying eggs.
Now the another albino female has the swollen anus and looks very orange like she is ready to go.
But what throws off the coincidence is that this male has a swollen gland too and his is really bad now. It was huge today.
I do have white poop in the tank so I thought worms or parasites but it isn't thin and stringy like what I have been researching. It's thick and heavy. My siphon hose won't even pick it up. It just sucks it about 2 inches then drops to the bottom. I also haven't seen which fish is pooping white. I am attaching pics if the male. If anyone has a clue about what's going on please chime in. Thanks AA!!
