	Protruding mouth?
cutiepatutie Enthusiast Posts: 222 Kudos: 411 Votes: 12 Registered: 16-Jun-2003	When feeding my fish today, I noticed my male cherry barb's mouth looked swollen. I can't tell if there's anything on it or not, it just looks larger and it sticks out. He has a couple white spots, one by his eye and one on his dorsal fin, and his fins are closed up. Is this mouth fungus? If not, what is it?

Maybe it could be that the new fish I bought about a week ago brought this, whatever it is. My cherry barb's mouth is even more big today, and he didn't eat. There's still no film or fuzz on his mouth, it's just really swollen. One of my platies now has ich also. I'm treating the tank for ich, but is there anything else I can do?
