Fish: Re: [tropical fish club] Sick Parrots

Hi. The tank is 120litre water test have shown all zero's the fish are quit large, now only two in the tank, he had a big plec as well that is now dead.

He did a 50% water change a week ago when the plec died, he feeds them every two days not sure what, probably just flake, temp 25c.
He has had the Parrot's for about three years so I would guess he must be doing things right for them to have lasted this long.

They just look really strange like they are covered in wisps of cotton wool hanging from their fins; I would guess some sort of fungus.

As well as how often water changes are done and how much water each time? Also check into how often they are fed, what they are being fed, and how much at a time?
