I purchased 4 (seemingly) healthy ADF's from my local PetsMart.
They were quarantined for two weeks as I cycled a planted 10 gallon tank for them.
I've used Seachum's "Stability" to help establish the tank, and water parameters are good (I also have a filter, air stone, and heater - temp at 78°).
The tank has only the ADF's; no fish. I noticed 1 out of the 4 is always at the surface. She's perched herself on the top of my thermometer (1" below surface), and seems to be trying to climb out, having almost half her body out.
Finally getting a closer look at her tonight (she dove in when I turned the tank light on), it seems she has a pimple/sore on the left side of her face. In the pictures it looks like her left eye is cloudy, and there's white stuff around her jaw. She has somewhat of an appetite, but not like the others.
What is this? Any thoughts/suggestions as to what I should do?
Wondering if I should quarantine and/or medicate. The other 3 seem quite happy and lively in the planted tank, with no visible issues. I'd love to add a couple fish to the tank, but I want to make sure the ADF's are healthy first. Help!
