Stef Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Is this tail rot? He’s a half moon. I’ve had him almost 2 yrs. The upper section of his tail looks a little torn. No ragged pieces hanging off. I have several seriyu stone pieces and live plants. No sharp spider wood or other artificial decorations. He’s in a 10 gal with only a single oto. He’s eating and swimming normally. Per master test kit this morning: Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0 I can’t seem to get any nitrates. I have a ton of frogbit pH: 7.6 Edited August 1, 2021 by Stef Adding water parameters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The light edges to his fins could be the start of fin rot I would increase water changes and monitor for now if it's gets worse I would treat with maracyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Thanks @Colu do you mean increase volume of water change or increase frequency? I usually go every two weeks at 50% for this tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I would do 50% a week for a couple of weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmedByFish Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Would the purpose of extra water changes be to remove bacteria from the water column? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It to lower the bacterial count to help seed up the healing process 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
