My Golden Comet Swordtail which was in with 3 ADFs, a Golden Mystery Snail, and pond snails. It is also planted and for the past few hours he has been swimming through the plants and sitting on the gravel. I have now quarantined him into a 2 gallon bowl.:nono:

Bye the way pictures coming soon.

He is upside-down and the only movement is slight in his gills and fins.

He was outside before? Did you acclimate him to the tank water before adding him to the tank? Parameter and temp change could have shocked the fish.

I'm sad to say that he has died and I am thinking that there was a nitrate spike in the tank which is the cause of my bacterial bloom that is still happening a water change will be done momentarily.
