Aquarium Advice Regular
My male swordtail is thin, listless, and sunken in behind his lower fins. No new changes in his established 20gal community tank. All his tankmates seem fine. I've had him for several months, along with the rest of the fish in the tank. Last water change was a couple days ago. (Done every week).
Anyway, I'm thinking it may be a parasite, not totally sure, of course.
I put him in a makeshift hospital tank (5gal) with a seeded filter foam from my 10gal.
I don't know what to do for him because I'm not totally sure what's wrong. I do have Jungle Parasite Clear tablets, Aquarium salt, and a few other meds, but I don't want to just stick something in not knowing for sure.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
