I noticed a cottony growth looking kinda what columnaris looks like where the white spots around (what i think is) his rectum were. So I can ether say its Columnaris or its white stringy poo and its parasites. Which would explain the white stomach.
I increased the aeration in the tank and the filter and I plan to do a 100% waterchange as soon as I can, which is around 2pm EST.
Whatever it is seems to be affecting his swimbladder as I have been catching him laying on his side a few times, not dead.
His gills are going about 3 times per second.
He seems to favor laying on his right side.
Should I treat for both athte same time. He still isnt eating.
