Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Ariel does look like she has a little bit of white on her abdomen, and potentially some raised scales. She also appears to be swimming towards the bottom of the tank, but this may just be a coincidence in the photo. The white on the abdomen can be caused by a fungal or parasitic infection, so I recommend separating this fish from the others. You may want to change the water and sanitize the tank if any other fish start to get similar symptoms. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Check water chemistry first. Use a home test kit or submit a water sample for testing. The local Petco may do this for free or for a small fee. Aim for an absence ( 0 ppm) of ammonia and nitrites with nitrates at 20 ppm or less. Perform partial water changes, no more than 30% at a time, to stabilize chemistry and/or to improve water quality. Use only conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock. Check water temp as well. Any of these can drive a fish to the surface. The "flashing" (darting about) can be due to infection (bacterial, fungal or parasites). Consider a broad spectrum antibiotic or an "all in one" product to treat multiple infections. Look in the Aquarium section of the local Petco for options. Follow label directions carefully and remove the carbon filter insert during treatment if indicated.

Thank you for using Boop by Petco! It looks like the tank provides enough room for Speedy and Explorer to swim comfortably. Keep an eye on them, and move them into a larger tank if they get significantly larger or you notice signs of fighting or increasing ammonia levels in the tank.

I'm assuming you meant that Lola is a rabbit. Unfortunately Petco does not accept pets for rehoming, but if you contact your local store they might be able to give you the name of a rescue group near you. The local shelter would be another good resource. Here are a few rescue groups that I found online based on the zip code you provided: https://www.charlestonanimalsociety.org/bunny/ http://lowcountrybunny.org/
