Hey guys,
I've hijacked my brothers account and need a bit of help.

I've just quarantined one of my L201's. I am in need of some advice for what is wrong with it and how to treat it. Please see attached pictures.

Water parameters are:
Temp 28C
Ph 7.2
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 10ppm

Symptoms include fast breathing, pink belly and what looks like a bacterial infection on its right side.

One of the other fish in the tank appears to be developing light patches. There are also fry in a frysaver in the tank. What would you suggest we do about these?

It may be coincidence, however, a couple of days ago the lights were left on all night. I have no doubt that this stressed the fish as they didn't eat that night. Could this have been a factor?

Initial treatments have been to disinfect affected areas with betadine. I don't have much medication at my disposal, but can get some from the LFS tomorow.

Any advice is much appreciated.
