Lindy Administrator Show me the Shishies! Posts: 1507 Kudos: 1350 Votes: 730 Registered: 25-Apr-2001	All other fins seem okay and its eating and behavior is normal? I had a trio of hoplo catfish that had an odd fin rot like this once. All other fish in the tank were fine. After trying to treat with Melafix, and with the help of people here we decided it was a bacterial finrot which I treated with tetracycline. (antibiotic) Have you tried any treatment for it yet?

Try to establish what caused the bacteria ptoblem. I would add a good dose of Stress Coat and some BioStarter to get the good bacteria going again. Dont forget to remove any carbon while using any medications. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
