Recently I noticed a slight bulge around the vent of my male A. cacatuoides. With in a few days the bulge had enlarged and the vent seemed to be enflamed and red with what looked like a few small strands of an organ hanging out. Has anyone had this happen to their Apistos or other fish or what is the cause of it? All my other Apistos that were in the tank with the cackatoo are now exhibiting slight bulges around their vents except for my breeding pair of A. gibbiceps. I have taken the precaution of separating the pair from the others just in case. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
