Hally M. Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Noticed a white consistency on my swordtails mouth. Not sure if I should be concerned or not. Ph 7.9 No ammonia no nitrite and a very small amount of nitrate. Kh was measured a couple days ago but looked good. Gh 230 ish Sorry the pictures are poor quality I had to zoom in because he wouldn’t come closer. Aside from the substance on his mouth he is behaving completely normal. No physical signs or abnormal swimming patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hally M. Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Scratch that, I believe he’s refusing fan food and I haven’t seen him engage in eating at yet since I got him a couple days ago and he’s just now starting to isolate with the female swordtail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hally M. Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 I’m also noticing some stringy poop from the female? Some parts are translucent. The two are in a 20 gallon and just had 5 Tablespoons of salt added. What else should I consider for treatment if this could be parasites as well?

Colu Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) White patch on the mouth can be caused by mouth rot often associated with columnaris or a fungal infections what I would do as its not eating is quarantine if you can and treat with a combination of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons and do a course of kanaplex just in case there's a bacterial component @Hally M.
