Ok yesterday I got a few new fish when petco had a sale and I got a six line a damsel and a springeri dottyback. the dottyback and the wrasse fought a little last night,noting major just establishing territory. when I woke up this morning the dottyback was resting on the sand and breathing rapidly. its scales don't look great either, none are missing but its got a film on it or something , Both fish have minor ick from the fighting and are being treated with formalin and malachite green

Turns out it died, when I examined its body it had a bulge in its abdomen with something coming out of it I've attached a photo for opinions on what it may be.

Dang sounds like stress and ICH just did it in. The bulge could be from one of your hermits or something
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
