Also might be a good idea to have a look at the relavent page dealing with fin rot on this website. find it under the interactive menu. Last edited by lifeofcrimeguy at 22-May-2005 05:57

I think it may have injured itself, all other fish look good. I have medicated tank, so hopefully she'll b ok. Although shes not movin much Plz reply
