Sick Lab
I have two yellow labs alone in a tank. there were three but one died after showing no symptons of disease or hardship. after he died the dominant male started picking on his tankmate, and the past few weeks he has been forced to hide behind the filter and only be coaxed out at feeding time. he is very rarely able to swim around. hes dealt with this for weeks, but suddenly is sick. his stomach is slightly bloated and he looks like he has a read skin/blood time mass bulging out of his anus...bad times... what kind of disease might this characterize? his fins are often nipped and tattered from the larger fish. the dominant lab is brutal but i dont want to lose him, so if its a contagious disease should i kill the smaller fish and try to keep a single lab alive and healthy? thanks
