His tail has almost disappeared and his dorsal fin is either 'down' or gone. The other fish seem fine and healthy so I think it may be bullying although I haven't seen the other fish display aggressive behaviour for a long time now.There are cotton wool like growths in the tank but not on the fish, only on the features within the tank such as imitation plantation. A previous housemate left the tank behind and I've been taking care of the fish ever since. I had no idea it involved so much but I'd like to help the poor little mite if I can. Any help would be appreciated?I was thinking of going to my local pet store with a sample of the water to be tested. Would this be a good start?Thanks,Caroline I have a large tank and only 3 fish and since cleaning out the tank and changing the water (around 75%) one fish in particular has become withdrawn, lurking in a quiet corner of the tank.
