Hello everyone please could someone help. One of my male guppies is missing parts of his tail fin and red around the missing areas. I have looked online for other views but all opinions seem to vary. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Tank size: 90L (23.7USG)
pH:8.2
ammonia:0
nitrite:0
nitrate: 40ppm (same as tap water here)
kH: 250.6
gH: 322.2 (Both kH and gH are roughly same as tap)
tank temp: 26c or 79f
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behaviour): Missing parts of tail fin, and in these areas the fin has red around the edge. He has always been shy and hidden away a bit, although he has been out a bit more recently. He seems to have more attention from the other 2 male gupppies since hiding less and don't know if the damage is from nipping or fin rot.
Also noticed one of the other guppies chases the female platy too.
Volume and Frequency of water changes: 25% weekly.
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: easylife easycarbo and profito. dechlorinator seechems prime.
Tank inhabitants: 3 male guppies, 6 female platy (1 just gave birth but only 1 fry survived) and 1 male platy.
Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration): Other than one new born, none.
Exposure to chemicals: none
