Bought two reedfish and were delivered late, alive but one seemed to have fin rot on the tail and died within 24 hours.

The second seemed active and healthy but developed a similar alignment within a day and has rapidly progressed over the past two days.

Treating with kanaplex and metroplex as well as paragaurd on a day on off cycle but ny guess is it will pass in a day.

Fish is still active but as you can see it's padily degenerating and wondering if it should be euthanized or if anyone can help identify the infection. 1000005460.jpg

I’d hold off on euthanizing the fish if it’s still active and able to eat. Cont the meds since started you’ve already started it.
