Johann H Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Noticed the fins of 2 of our angels showing signs of what I would call "fin separation. Is this a form of fin rot? We have a 65 gallon planted community tank. There is recent stress in the tank as we had 4 angels in the tank that 2 paired off and laid eggs, which did not hatch before being eaten. Three of the angles were beating up on 4th presumably male angel - we removed him. Things seemed peaceful for a few days with the 3 in the tank until 2 days ago and we noticed 2 of the angels sparing a lot. Its about impossible to tell which exactly is the breeding pair so we did not remove the 3rd angel. This morning we noticed the above pictured fin issue. Question: Do we need to treat the fin issue or will removing the angel to another tank heal the fin issue naturally in time? (Once we figure out which angle to remove :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted December 17, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2020 I don't think it's a form of fin rot. Probably just some fighting going on. Keep an eye on it though if you see any white growths, or it getting much worse then take action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It is injury caused by the breeding I watch and them to see which are the pair and remove other female 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann H Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 We removed the 2 angels that were not the breeding pair. They are in a 10 gallon. We then set up a 20 - just as the 20 was cycled and ready for them we noticed this (see picture). This started about 10 days ago. We of course left them in the 10 and treated it with erythromycin. There is no change. Any ideas of what s wrong and how we should treat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 As erythromycin has not work work I would treat with aquarium salt 1 table for two gallons for 1week and API general cure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
