[WET FISH]

i done a water change last night came down this morning and found this on my good looking boy. i think its fin rot but im just not sure & i dont know what to do. all my other fish are fine

just a very small amount of whit fluff these are the best photos ive ever taken of these as they move so much.





this is the female



ive had both now for about six months.

just going to water test everything & will let you know my results as i know your going to ask me.

Looks like a slightly infected bite mark to me

You noticed any agression between the pair, onyx percs can be pretty nasty with each other.

If the fish isnt stressed and is eating fine, it will probably heal quite well, Its worth checking the water make sure all is in order though

cheers tommo for your time!

they do have a bit of a go now & then so could be.

should i add garlic to the food?

if its stress then im staying away from the tank. well fix on it looking lol

Water looks good

Garlic will be a waste of time in this instance IMO I wouldnt bother, reserve it for times of low appetance as it can cause liver damage if over used!
