I Can't Believe It! - *pics & Video Added To First Post*

Well seems I spoke too soon with regards to Edwards Whitespot problem. Well not really as his Ich is almost gone.
but it seems like he's got a little bit of Fin rot, his tail seems shredded on the end tips? And they look kind of stuck together
Like one big bit of cardboard - when he swims he uses his whole body (kind of like a snake in the sand) to move, rather
than just moving his fins

*sighs*

Any suggestions?
And best form of treatment??


Thanks guys.

well does Edward have any tank mates? if not then raise the temperature on the heater to about 30 degrees.

 

[Janene]

No tank mates
Heater is already at 30 as I have been treating him for Ich for the past few weeks, temp has been raised since then.

 

[squiremaster]

then all you can do now is put some fin rot treatment in

 

[Janene]

Ok......


Well can anyone reccommend a certain medication? As I know with the Ich problem I wasted weeks until I was advised to try Copper Sulphate.

So I'd much rather avoid that again.

Thanks

Can you get a photo? Finrot may be bacterial or fungal, and depending on what's actually causing it the treatment is very different (generic 'fin rot' remedies generally do very little, they are essentially watered-down broad spectrum crap.)

Well he's certainly very active which is a good sign. Finish his Ich treatment, then run some carbon in the filter for about a week to remove any traces of Ich medicine, keep the water very clean ect, then treat him with a fin rot treatment.

I don't know if you can get it over there but there is a treatment here called Myxazin CLICK

Dunc got fin rot last year when his filter died in the night. That stuff cleared it right up.

Ok, thanks for the help - I'll give it a go.
