The attached photo shows 1.5 months ago on the left, today on the right. The gold one (Gary) was affected first (started about a month ago) but the pink one (Lydia) has started showing symptoms in past week or two. You can see the drastic weight loss experienced by Gary - the gold one. Symptoms include: significant reduction in volume of blood words consumed, loosing weight, rough / bumpy slime coat, red veiny appearance, and dullness of colour. We do 20% water changes weekly with dechlorinator. Water tests are consistently good - today's results are ammonia below 0 ppm, PH is about 6.5-7, nitrite is 0, and nitrates are around 20 or maybe 40 ppm at the max. It doesn't seem to look like cottony fungus but I don't know.
Advice would be really appreciated! I'm nervous to try treatments (bacteria, salt bath, leaves, tea treatments, etc) before knowing what is ailing these guys as I know some treatments may actually make some illness worse.
Thank you! - Emilie
