Hey guys, earlier today ~2pm (currently 5pm), I saw a red patch behind my swordtail's fin and right in front of it her fin looked to be chopped in half (hard to see in pictures). I immediately transfered her to a 2.5g fish tank that I had, it's not the best for her, but it's all I have and I was afraid to keep her in the community tank with the other 30 fish...
The male swordtail's tail fin the bottom portion also looks to be missing exact same as the females, and they both have white fuz on the end. I thought it was tail rot but was wondering where the red welt comes from... it looks like a red patch with small white dot.
Also, the male's poop has been long and string (I think just once)
I have been wondering what what medications I need to get, what the diagnosis is.
Lastly, I am wondering if I should transfer the mail to my makeshift 'hospital tank' but am afraid to because the male doesn't have the red welt yet.
And the female is pregnant if that makes a difference.
Thanks for your time.
These pictures are only of the female fish:
