Hi Everyone,
Need some advice ASAP,
We have just got back from holiday (10 days) and our upside down catfish has got some serious dorsal fin damage to it, to the point you can see the cartalige.
I've done about a 40% + water change and waiting for some Fin Rot antibiotic treatment to arrive today hopefully. She's still swimming around fine and eating but I've noticed the rummy nose are starting to pick at the damaged fin which isn't helping. I've noticed a slight loss of colour around the fin aswell but guessing that could be due to the infection if that's what is causing it.
All the other fish are fine, 2 black widow tetras, 6 Rummy nose and a pleco. (250L tank)
I did a water check yesterday and even before the change the water was OK and the temp hasn't changed.
Any advice or is it just add the treatment and hope for the best.
