My vail tail...with the black ...which looks like fin rot. Has not been a
happy chappy.
Resting consistantly on the bottom of the tank.
I have given a salt bath.....however not too sure how much salt per volume
of water.
Still no improvement.
I have moved the vail tail to my larger tank thinking that it could of been
the smaller tank, and giving it more company...however its made no
difference.

I am also thinking of quarantining the fish just incase it speads to the
other fish.

Any suggestions to what I should do next.
Its such a shame...such a beautiful fish.

I have followed your other instructions ingred ...clean water daily.....75%
change
with salt added....1 teaspoon per gallon.

NZed
PS its body looks maybe a little bloated...just thinking constipation ? I
have offered some peas ...but it hasnt tried to eat them....not really been
intersted in eating.

I've been using 0.3% for about 2 years and I've never seen any of my Moors have
shredded fins as a result. I've always found 0.3% works well for fin rot, ick
and
fungus, but thats just my experience.
