Ashzbetta Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 i just went down to my tank and noticed my fighter has a clamped tail fin. it is a 60l tank divided in 2 in his side is him, 3 catfish, 4 harlquins, he built his first bubble nest last night and doesnt seem down at all. ive added a little melafix and gotten him to flare cuz i know that helps. he flared but couldnt open his tail right up. is there anything else i can do?

Scottie841 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 What is the current like in the tank? If it is low you could up the current and make him use his tail a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashzbetta Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 as i ran out of air stones i had one that i was switching between both sides of the tank every second day. i just bought some more so there will always be one in their form now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 check your ammonia levels as this can cause them to clamp their tails and even if okay it would pay to do a water change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
