I'm SO sorry for double posting but I have a bit of an emergency and the internet has not been very helpful...Discovered this when I came back from home



I threw him immediately into my cycling tank...the tank is almost cycled and I didn't feel comfortable having him in the same tank in case it was a fish eating his fins and its my only available tank...unless I was going to keep the little guy in a .5 gallon vase...does anyone know what could've happened? Unfortunately, I cannot treat him since I also am raising baby fry in there as well for the same reason of not having enough tanks. I also lack a breeder box and pretty much my fish stores are closed so I can't go out to get a breeder box...


I can't see too well, but is his tail fin damaged? If so, pulling him out was a good idea as it may very well have been another fish biting him, but if it happened gradually it may be that he has Fin Rot, which it's good to separate him in that case as well so he doesn't risk contaminating the other fish.

I don't have any experience with fin rot, so I'm not sure if that's what happened, but if it occurred suddenly, it's not likely to be fin rot: Causes Symptoms and Treatment of Fin Rot

Another thing I *have* seen is they could have got their tail fin stuck or caught on something in the tank and tore it trying to get free. I hope things work out okay for you.
