5 giant - 30Gal...... 5 Ember tetras, 1 solo blue tetra 5 corys( 3 albino and 2 green)

cool .... I will keep that in mind..... the nipping danio fins are more red than the others. I will probably trim the front plants down a bit.

Peeps, I made the jump to a planted tank about 6 months back. I picked Wisteria cuz it seemed easy to propagate and grow.... my plants are a little out of control and I think that my giant danios are getting crowded and starting to nip. Question.. how far back would you trim these plants...

Update: We are a little over 3 weeks in the Hospital tank and these guys are looking great! Fins are pretty much healed up and looking happy, fat and 'finny' moving them back to the tank this weekend. Will be adding my PimaFix to the Main tank to help clear out any problems.

Update: Moved my 2 guys into a 1.5gal tank with a heater and small filter. 25% water change and 1ml of API PIMAFIX every day + aquarium salt on setup. Water temp is 74deg F and holding. That was 2 days ago.... they are eating and it looks like the fins are starting to repair. My guess is if...

Agree set up hospital today will be moving them in tomorrow after temp stabilizes and chemicals get delivered.

API master freshwater test kit and API tap water conditioner for my water changes.

Ammonia .25 ppm Nitrate 0 Nitrite 0 Ph 6.6 ordered up melafix will be here in the am. Now should I set up a hospital tank?

I'll run a full test kit and report back.

Do you know of any fin rot antibiotics I should look into and should I set up a hospital tank?

Zebra. Nothing special.

I do not see any aggression at all from anyone else. The only culprit could be the solo neon from another tank. But I would assume the fin nipping would be almost immediately. (Like 6 months ago) this fin loss started about 7 days ago.
