Fish Crazy
Our beautiful betta Tyson has developed the most horrendous case of what I beleive to be fin rot.
He is currently in isolation but was in the Orb which has zero ammonia, zero nitrite and 10 - 20 ppm nitrate. 35 l orb shared with 5 tetras. They all get on really well.
Was absolutely horrified to find him on Monday afternoon with what lookedlike tears to his fins. Two hours earlier he had been fine. i took out what I thought might have ripped his fins, an ornament, and kept an eye on him. Only a couple of hours later and his condition had worsened. Yesterday morning he had worsened with bits of his fins and tail literally dropping off and he was clearly poorly. So we set up the isolation tank with clean wtaer, using Seachem Prime to decholrinate and protect for ammonia and nitrite, put him someplants in to snuggle, no filter to keep the water still, and set the heat for 28degrees. Added Interpet no 8 anti fungus and fin rot. Today so much of his plumage has gone. He's not at all well and the speed if the attack is devastating. The tetras are fine.
He rushes to the surface to gulp air and will fly around the tank, not rubbing etc, but will then lie or hang motionless.
Is there anything more I can do please?
I'm just so gutted. He's such a lovely lovely boy.
