BK Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 If it's not to bad try Aquaflavine to start with, no luck with this try Furan 2. Is it damaged and then fin rot or do you have problems with your tank. The first sign of problems can be damaged fins/skin due to bugs attacking. what else is happening in your tank what is the water like. If your happy that every thing is ok try the two product above. Melifix could also be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discusguru Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hey Jim, I think we'll have to know someone who know someone to get those med you mentioned, lol I would go with acriflavin being an ordinary hobbyist but if you can get hold of what Jim mention it'll be fantastic.

herefishiefishie Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Anti bacterial is the most common cause of fin rot. But do check for signs of parasites, ie; flashing, scraping, heavy breathing etc. As said above parasites can cause fin rot. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
