Hi,
I jus bought a golden severum. He is in a 20 gallon tank. Very open to swim and I built a little cave. The temp is 77 degrees, with soft lighting.The severum is being shy, but also isn't swimming around very much. The fish sit at the bottom corner of the tank. The fish name is sunny. Sunny eats a little bit of the food that's falls to the bottom. I've noticed swelling around is butt and this cotton like substance that sort of gathers then falls out of his butt. Obviously it's his poop but it's totally white and no string. It jus kind of falls out. I don't know if its parasites or bacterial or fungle ext. So have started medicating sunny with General cure that treats parasitic deases. I've jus given him the last dosage yesterday but I see no changes in this 6 days process. Must not be parasites. I am going to finish the cycle but sadly I think the whole General care parasitic treatment was a swing and a miss. Sunny is my 1st severum I open to any suggestions. Here is a pic of what sunny cotton butt looks like.
