Very Ill Looking Red Devil

[KateRedDevil]

My Red Devils spawned about a month ago and now it seem the babies are eating their dad's fins. He was ok with this till a couple of days ago but now his fins look very raw and even bloody in a few places. He is as I write hardly moving at the very top of the tank except for the constant gasping/gulping at the surface. Please someone what can I do for my favorite RD

Oh and by the way the water tests perfect and the female and babies are all doing their thing just fine. Just not my poor male

It sounds like your female has turned on your male witch does happen with these guys, your going to have to put him in a tank by himself and keep the water changes up.
If you want to breed them again, just remember to seperate the perants.

And keep adding salt and i would also add melamix

Thanks Warrior, have moved him to different tank and added a dose of melafix. He seems to have perked up. Yeah he's definately on the improve!

Thats true what warrior said they tend to trun on each other for some reason, but i think you would be able to breed them again with no worries, what about puting a divider in the tank when they breed?

PS: good to hear he is on the mend
