Colu Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Little more information would be helpful what are your water parameters ammonia nitrite nitrate pH temperature what type of filter are you using it's difficult to tell off your picture any redding to the edges of the fins @dragon enjoyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As your ammonia at zero if the temperature 80-82 what I would do is a couse of seachems kanaplex it's a very effective antibiotic treatment for gram negative bacteria as most cases of fin rot are caused by gram negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
