75gal w/ fluval 404.
In the tank are 1 8"GT, 1 12"Oxydoras Niger, 1 Yoyo Loach, 1 small Pleco.
Usually the GT is a hog and will punk on the catfish when it comes out from behind the log. Then one day I cleaned my filter, and did a water change something Ive done many times before. Only difference this time is I added carbon as the water was yellow from the wood. All the other fish are cool except the GT. Now I dont know how the carbon could have done anything. But now the GT wont eat, it get pushed aside by the cat when I feed. (hikari cichlid gold and cichlid staple) It developed a swollen gut and cheeks and breaths heavy. and I guess whats sticking out of his anus is his "organ"
His color is unchanged and he swims upright like normal.
So I dont know whats wrong, just worried that he has not eaten for 2 weeks. I have not tested the water yet I've only added aquarium salt. He looks faded in the pics but his color really is bright. I read somewhere a fish can go into a sort of rut or heat when then want to spawn. Any truth in that?
here above you see its "organ" and a white string like discharge.
