Problem

1. Please explain the problems with your fish. When did you notice the problems and did anything unusual happen that you think started them?

The fish is showing stress bars and turned a bit dark. I have been using PraziPro because of suspected flukes. I have also been using Metro Powder because I suspected hex as well. There is one fish that has always had big lips but I'm not sure if its swollen or not. I have done some searching on this forum and they said to treat swollen lips/fin rot with Furan-2 (antibiotics). There is some fin rot on the fins but nothing severe. Need help identifying if this is swollen lips:

Stress bars, rotten fins, and maybe swollen lips?
