After finishing a water change, I noticed one of my Rummy nose was swimming upside down. I also noticed the bottom portion of his head on the gills is very red . Almost looks like he is bleeding internally. I will upload several pictures. I have quarantined him into a 5 gallon bucket. Please let me know if it is just an unfortunate head injury or something more serious and possibly deadly to the other members of the community tank. I.E. a disease.
1~What type of fish is afflicted? Rummy Nose Tetra
2~What are your tank parameters
ammonia: .5 ppm
nitrites: 0 ppm
