HI, 2 weeks ago I noticed that my paradise fish had red around the mouth but he was eating and acting normal. Then he started to be listless so i treated him with a parasite/fungal/bacterial medication and he got a bit better. Now it looks as if his mouth has literally rotted away! He barely eats or swims, he just lies on his side at the bottom of the tank and only swims when he goes up to get air. Even when he does swim, it looks like he really struggles.
I've looked in all my aquarium books, but i haven't been able to find the disease. Please help, this is one of my favourite fish.
