In my tank are a couple male salvini that I have had for a little over two years. Both have been acting rather goofy, the one in particular. Both have not been eating, that I have observed, and the bigger of the two has been chilling in a corner with his nose pointing straight down, like a vertical swim. I have also been noticing these white zit pimple looking things on the bigger one's tail. I had a Texas/Carpintis that had these bumps too and eventually he died. Don't know if that is what killed him but I'm sure it didn't help his efforts. I believe I had tried using some parasite or fungus treatment on the bumps a while ago but it didn't seem to solve it. Till now the fish's behavior has never really seemed odd. He's had the zit things for close to a year at least. I recently did a water change on Saturday afternoon and redid the aqua scape a bit and since then these two salvini have more less been like this. Any thoughts?
I have attached a picture of the big zitty salvini. I took this photo about a month ago, but now I know it isn't good for the fish to be laid on towels & tape like this so I have learned that lesson. If you can see the area on his tail there's a bit of white blotchy bubble looking things, but then some more defined little spots that look like white head zits, especially so in the tank. Thanks for the input.
