    Pics when you get home...

    Forgive my ignorance but the only Blue Tux fish I have heard of is a blue tux guppy..So with that said is this freshwater and is it a blue tux guppy?

    Did it have the bubble when you got it?
    Are any of the other fish nipping at it?
    How is it eating?
    How is you PH and other params like nitrite and nitrate?
    Is the bubble like a solid mass?
    Tank size?

    sarcastic responses usually dont get answered either. people are here to help as much as possible. and simple requests for info to help determine the problem are best done with that info given ive found.
