fin rot

I just got this Pinecone pleco shipped to me on Thursday. I did notice a couple of spots on his tail fin but this looks worse today. Is this Fin Rot? If so what’s the best route to treat it? Right now it is in a 75 gallon tank that I got with other fish from this shipment. Them and 1 other...

Just picked up two Oscar’s yesterday and this one was so sad looking that I felt like he needed to be rescued. I am thinking he has fin rot and possibly some sort of fungal infection? What’s the best treatment? I dosed Melafix today but I want to make sure I go with the most effective method...

So in my 180g tank I have 2 red spot Severums 2 blood parrot cichlids and 8 polar blue cichlids. I’ve noticed lately that both the red spot Severums and blood parrots have slightly frayed fins that almost look like they have worn away a bit. But after a short period of time they repair and look...

Hi, i introduced some datnoids recently that created an ich outbreak and through treatment with ich-x everybody seems to be getting much better. However, I just saw this on the arowana, who has been eating voraciously 2 times a day until his belly is plump, and am wondering if this is fin rot or...

I have a close acquaintance who's had a Beta for around 4 months now in a 3gallon tank at 76 degrees and does have a running filter. Around a month ago it started growing a type of fungus on the base of its tail fin. At first I suggested doing frequent water changes and adding salt. This did...

I have two albino oscars in a three foot tank. They are around 10-15cm. They have a white layer around their fins. They eat normally. Very active. Could this be fin rot?

My long finned oscar has damage to his right fin. Sorry best picture I could get. Just did a water change. Conditions are all optimal. He has energy and appetite but is very pale. I dosed with pimafix as it looked to me like possible fungal infection. Not sure the cause but possibly my Bichir...

I recently bought a BGKF and the long fin below has a few splits in it? I bought it like this and it was in a bit of PVC pipe when I selected it - I have ordered a few hideouts for my fish who hide - but is this a normal occurrence in BGKFish or could this be a condition eg fin rot? please help...

Hi all I am looking for some advice. I have purchased a trimac and his fins all have area's missing from what I assume is some sort of rot, also his colour is way off I know he has just moved in to a new tank so he's bound to be stressed which is expected but he has brightened up a lot but still...

So I noticed that the dorsal fin and tail of my common pleco seem to be torn on the edges. I've seen other threads describing similar symptoms with other fish. I'm not sure if he's getting picked on or if it's how he moves against my decor, and I'm also not sure if it's something I should worry...

Hello MFK community!! I'm surprised I'm here talking about my pleco out of everyone having a problem ( considering I'm constantly frantic about my bichir even when there's nothing wrong with lol.. ) I'm afraid he might have a mild case of fin rot I've never seen his sailfin so see through!! It...
