Hey everybodyyyyyy. I've got a few problems. First off, my dominant caquetaia spectabilis has been acting a little weird lately. He's having some type of problem with his jaw. As in, his mouth is usually open and he sometimes opens his mouth really wide. So I can obviously tell he's feeling some sort of discomfort. Any suggestions as to what may be the problem?


My other 5 little guys are doing okay. The smallest of the 6 seems to be incredibly stressed and it looks as though he's having a little bit of fungus growing on him. I treated the 75 with melafix but i was wondering if it would be best to seperate him from the group since the others don't seem to have any similar problems.

Also, the entire group seems to be incredibly stressed. They're exhibiting a darker color pattern anddddd i'm seeing their lateral lines. Not good? Especially with the lateral lines. That's got me a little upset.

I did a small water change

nitrates were at 5
nitrites 0
ammonia 0

blah on ph

and temperature is around 80 f.
 
more so in patches. I'm actually more concerned with my dominant male. He eats but it's incredibly obvious how uncomfortable he is. He won't let any of the other fish near him, and I routinely see him open his jaw up as open as possible.
