Any fishkeepers here? Saltwater or freshwater

Flushed my first fish yesterday. A pink Neon had a large hump on it's back, was laying around on the bottom and had an eye bugging out.

Any ideas?


I figure it's pretty good to have it take this long to kill the first one off.

Bacterial infection most likely. Keep an eye on your other fish and make sure they don't get it.

Or you could use Melafix as a preventative. It's not as strong as real antibiotics but is far less destructive to your overall tank health.
