OK, here's what my Handy Dandy Fishlopedia mentions about "What if my
fish
is too thin?" ...

- "Pathogenic, usually systemic, infection with bacteria"
- Fish TB is "particularly likely to cause" this
- "endo sitic protozoan infection (ie: neon tetra disease, hole in

Actually TB was my other choice, but it just doesn't seem right, but
flukes
don't either. I looked at the worst one and besides the weight loss, it
was
slightly red/pink in front of the . It had also been flashing and the
fins were also clamped. Thats why I thought maybe flukes, In the tank
there are also corys and a bulldog pleco and some live plants. How about
adding salt? Would salt harm the other residents? If it is flukes what
can

It says quite a bit about both types of flukes, so I won't write everything
down here ... I'll try to summary a few of the points, especially the
treatment parts.

If you use any medications just always make sure you follow the suggested
dosages, bath times, etc. I would really recommend getting the book that
I'm getting all this info from, since there is lots more info about both of
these diseased in it, way more than I can quote.

Ok, I give up... what is the book's title? or ISBN number please?
