Colu Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 That looks like it has injured it's self looking at the pictures my suspicion would be the wood I would treat with maracyn he could get bacterial or fungal infection on the tail monitor closely till it starts to recover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what about the hanging portion of the fin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The hanging part of the fin might drop of over time the most important thing is to keep stress to a minimum and good water conditions and treat maracyn to provent bacterial infection it could take a couple of weeks to heal fully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also should I add another cover to the outputs to make it a real calm tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
