I think Bollo may have IP

He's started to look very skinny, when I put food in he's frantically trying to eat as much as he can. I noticed his fat belly reduced to nothing really quickly to and I caught him going for other fishes tails (which he's never done before).

Yesterday I found my Bronze Cory with it's tail and dorsal fins missing and then this morning I found my Albino Cory with half it's tail missing, I also found a dead male Guppy with no tail! When I watched Bollo swimming round he was litrally searching the whole tank frantically for food and every fish was trying to get out of his way

I've put him in my 25L and I'm treating him with Kusuri Wormer Plus which is a de-wormer for Discus that contains Flubendazole

I've put some bloodworms in there for him which he's scoffed, hopefully he'll be ok soon

Will he poo out the worms if he has them?

All his tankmates should be treated too.

OK it does say on the de-wormer packet that it's safe for all the fish and plants, I'll treat that tank awell then

I'm gona leave Bollo where he is so that he doesn't bother the other fish

I'd treat their food, not the entire tank.

Yea what PP say,hope Bollo does better

Yes he will have white stringy pooh.

it could be red also. Ra had red and white worms when he was pooing them out.

Thanks Guys

Good luck.

Bollo was in the hospital tank for a week and is now staying fat after eatting. He's also put on a bit of weight and is looking healthy again. He's very chilled out now and is not speeding round the 67g tank looking for food.

He was a little wary of me once I'd put him back in the big tank and when I put my finger on the glass he sped away and hid behind Naboo with just his head peaking over him , it was just unbelievabley cute and I so wished I had my camera ready. I tried to get him to do it again when I had my camera but he then decided he wasn't scared anymore and just came over to inspect the camera!

I got 3 wild guppys today, they're smaller than normal guppys and the colours on them are amazing, I also got one of each colour of normal guppys so 6 in all. As soon as I put them in the tank an orgy kicked off, them males are nuts! they were flirting/ feathering their tails to the females, each other, my female siamese fighter, bollo and one was doing it to himself in the reflection on the back of the tank where the picture is black! the wild guppys are about the size of my bigger baby guppys but it didn't stop them trying it on with the huge female who's got to be 20 times bigger!

Good to hear thats hes looking better Nice one matey
