bgarrett Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I noticed that my goldfish started getting these tears in his fins, so I followed the instructions in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wICf_0o6ys4) to treat for fin rot using maracyn and ich-x in a hospital tank. After the treatment I moved my goldfish back to the main tank, but now a few weeks have passed and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. What else can I do to help my fish? ph - 8.0 am - 0ppm ni - 0ppm na - 10ppm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) It looks more like he could be ripping his fins on something in the tank are their any sharp pieces of wood or stones in the tank he could be catching his fins on Edited February 3, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgarrett Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 The tank only has sand and some plants, nothing sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanF Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Watch carefully to see if another fish is nipping at his fins. I have two oranda goldfish and one ofthem is a "nipper". The poor other fish has small tears and rips in his tail from being bitten. They slowly heal over time. I see this behavior most often during feeding time. I think it is food aggression.
