Fin Rot Angelfish?

[flyhawk]

is this fin rot?
she is spawning currently and im scared

 

[WILDER]

it looks like finrot but also could be nipping.

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Have you seen any fin nipping going off in the tank.

 

[flyhawk]

the male has been beating her up after spawning but not to the extent of stripping away the fin.
i started treatment for fin rot
how long should i keep her in for?
shes in a 5 gallon bucket with filtration, areation and the med
shes been in for about 11 hours now i put in 1 teaspoon of the malachite green
nitrite 0
nitrate 10
ammonia 0
55 gallon tank
neons /rummynoses dont nip her fins

I wouldn't add anymore malachite green. Not meant to mix meds unless it says in the instructions.
Whats the name of the bacterial finrot med.

Is there a heater in the bucket.
Have you put netting over the bucket so the fish can't jump out.

 

[flyhawk]

thye malachite green is the med
there is a heater
no net but the fish looks very comftarable
she is eating
will put a net over

 

[WILDER]

Ok. Thought you meant you had added some malachite green.

 

[flyhawk]

so how long should i keep her in for?

 

[WILDER]

It depends on the healing process. Its hard to say.
Don't add the fish back to the tank till you can see healthy regrowth of the fins.
