Chandra Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I woke up this morning and found one of my male guppy having the fins tore off. Couple of days back it was fine. Could it be finrot or nipping from other guppies? What treatment do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I would check water parameters for anything that could be stressing the fish. Guppies also prefer harder water so check that if you can. If anythings seems out of whack do water change/gravel cleaning before dosing erythromycin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ed's Aquatics Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I see this a bit when I have too many mature males together with females. Isolate and treat with aquarium salts, should be good as new in a few weeks. If you see any other symptoms or it gets worse in iso you know that there's more than nipping going on.

MR aquarium Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 this is a lot of damige over night it may have gotten stuck on/in something and gotten out at the cost of a lot of its fin i would think more a strong filter and he got to close maybe try putting a sponge on the intake of your filter and make sure he does not get infected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
