It's a constant mix fed small portions 2-3x a day. * Any new fish added to the tank? No but there is an Apple snail that was added from my 10g guppy tank a week ago, but he was QT for a month and observed before he was added * Any medications added to the tank? No * List entire medication/treatment history for fish and tank. Please include salt, Prazi, PP, etc and the approximate time and duration of treatment. .03% salt at the instruction of a mod for several weeks if I remember correctly when fish first arrived in Oct 2014. Regular dose of prazi and salt of .01% (4 rounds) in November 2014, .01% salt a month and half ago to treat a red spot on Citrus per instructions of mod and cleared after a few days of treatment. * Any unusual findings on the fish such as "grains of salt," bloody streaks, frayed fins or fungus? frayed tail fin (left side) * Any unusual behavior like staying at the bottom, not eating, etc.? Eating and acting normal. He does occasionally bottom sit like a resting period but he has been that way since I got him. Note: I was going to give both fish a maintenance 2 rounds of prazi and no salt soon as I was going to be adding another fish into main tank who is currently in QT with salt and prazi treatments until I find a bigger tank for all of them. If there is medication to be administered please note that I do not have another available QT as I have 2 already in use ( one has fry in it) and I do have live plants and snail in main tank. ( I could find another container for them if needed) Meds I have on hand Metro Med Medi Gold T.C.Tetracycline Metronidazole Kanaplex Salt Melafix Epsom I just don't know what is going wrong or what i am doing wrong as I am strict on WC's and water perams are always excellent.. Citrus the Oranda is not a nipper and I have watched to see if she was bullying him and she isn't so I am not sure. Thanks guys for your help Left tail fin Edited March 25, 2015 by Cdionne77 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted March 26, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 26, 2015 I really doubt this is fin rot knowing your good husbandry. Are you sure there's been no chasing lately. These two are a mated pair, correct? If not, maybe do the maintenance Prazi rounds and see if that clears this up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure no chasing is going on, but I will keep a watchful mother hen eye on them. And correct they are a mated pair. Should I start the prazi rounds anyway?, and I will post any changes good or bad. Thank you for a sense of relief because I was worried and really scratching my head looking back at WC notes and trying to see if I missed something along the way. Thanks again Jared Edited March 26, 2015 by Cdionne77 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Cdionne77 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2015 Update on Skipper, tail looking better. Round 2 of Prazi started today. I still haven't notice any bullying in the tank unless it happens at night but so far tail is not worse than before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
