Has an fish been nipping there fins.
Finrot is mainly caused by bad water quality. Finrot also can be a secondary infection.
I find the interpet anti fungus and finrot med not very good.
Myxazin by waterlife a better med for finrot.

Sorry I forgot.
Think its just one dose for seven days.
That long since I used the stuff.
Always follow med instructions carefully.
