Pieter Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Dear fishkeepers, I have grown rasbora galaxy and want to sell them. Now i see one has a bit of fin rot. They are difficult to catch and that is of course stressful for the fish. How do you guys deal with this? you can only see it with good LED lamp. greets Pieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince C Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hey - welcome to the forum! Did you breed these or have you just been growing them out? Also do they all have a bit of fin issues, or are you only seeing it on 1 fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsJay Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 What does their tank look like and what are you feeding them? I feel like CPD's thrive on live BBS and without proper nutrition that they can start to wither away from all kinds of little things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it starts after a stress event every time there is something causing it they are continuously fighting. The stress lowers immunity and healing functions so it becomes noticeable. I’m not the right one to offer which meds to use advice but if it were me I would ask others which to use, treat the tank and hopefully be done with it. Catching I find the medium coop net just the right size to allow me to scoop without them being able to swim out of net scoop reach to be perfect. It could be just the photos but it appears they are producing extra slimecoat. This could also be in response to whatever is causing the fin rot. It would not be ethical to sell fish that are experiencing issues. I catch and move mine often and they do not experience fin rot. Long term stress from fighting something opens them to other opportunistic things as well. So I would definitely treat probably with a broad spectrum antibiotic.

TheSwissAquarist Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The question with a fish you are going to sell is: would you be willing to buy it yourself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you guys deal with this? I use this method. Given that you have fin rot issues, I wouldn't sell anything for 1-2 months. You need to QT them, run meds, verify everything is ok and not spreading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
