Illness, Health & Nutrition • Fish help needed.

Over the past week or two I been having fish beaten up over night or it seems that way. It always happen over night. They start out with a few cuts on there face or by there vent area. Next day there dead with more wounds. Looks like they where rammed in the vent area then there tail fin chewed off. I have lost 4 peacocks now. One of my fire mouth looks a infection around mouth and front fins. Just seems like the bigger fish are being targeted.

My yellow labs, milo, and kribs all seem fine. Here's some pics. I am trying to figure if attacks or some kind of fungus.

Thanks

It could be both. Once a fish is infected others will target it, especially around its vent/fin area.

Thanks, I am gonna move the sick ones and start a treatment. I just need to find out if the attacker was my labs or my male krib. I put a divider in the tank with the suspects one side and peacocks on other. There was no more attacks last night.
