Hey, one of my Ap. Cacatuoides appears to be unwell and has been for 3/4 days. I've taken him away from the other fish. He sits on the bottom with a clamped tail fin and he has a long clear string coming out of him and it's been there for about 2 days. My water is good, my siamese fighting fish and corydoras are fine but I've noticed my 2 female cacatuoides have started just sitting at the bottom of the tank and lose all the black colouration. I've also noticed a scale has lifted behind his right eye. I want a close diagnostic as I don't want to waste money on meds that aren't going to do anything.
Long stringy poo can be seen coming out of the fish, sorry for the small picture.
Abother thing I noticed is that he appears to be struggling when he tries turning and ends up shaking his whole body and very rapid, heavy breathing.
Thanks
Kyle
