willyp123 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hey guys, my female redfin bully isn't looking to happy - I think she had a mild case of fin rot which i seem to have sorted by salt dips however she looks to be breathing somewhat heavier than she should be and she has a couple of scales that appear to be coming off. She's also somewhat lethargic. She's in the tank with a decent size male redfin (who probably isn't helping the situation), but he's probably the only real aggressor in the tank and they generally don't associate - any tips on helping her out? Never had this issue with any of my other fish. Current plan is to get her in a medicine tank, what should I dose it with? Cheers, WillyP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Is it possible it just went through a rough spawning with the male? Happened to my common bullies a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Male hasn't claimed any territory and there's been no obvious spawning behaviour so I think that's somewhat unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 How is your tank temperature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyp123 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 How is your tank temperature? Stable at 17deg c (I bought a Chiller) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 It maybe as kiwiraka said then if it is the only fish like that in the tank missing scales are usually a product of breeding behaviour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
