Fungal Infection

Symptoms

• White patches resembling mold appear on the skin and fins of the endler. They stop eating, or they mouth food then spit it out. This is actually rare in well-maintained tanks; it is also very difficult to diagnose accurately as there are bacterial infections that look similar.
