Fin Rot

[kevin007]

Is medication nessassary, or can clean water fix the problem?

 

[kevin007]

The problem is that my fish just finished moving, the stress, lowered their immune system, and i brought some new guppies that i notice had fin rot, now some of my guppies have it too.

One of my bettas was bought with fin rot in the medium stages. I did 50% daily water changes, adding Wardleys Promethyasul at 1/3 of the recommended dose and salt and it cleared up in about 2 weeks.

Good luck.

I have a bottle of med called quick cure, can i use it? it's by AP

 

[WILDER]

If the finrot is bacterial no water quality won't cure it, also finrot in most cases with livebearers can be secondary infections.

 

[kevin007]

The reason is because the guppies are stressed from the move to my new house. So i guess i have to buy meds

It's more like a breeding tank, 55G

If you have alot of fish with the finrot medicate the whole tank.

I ahve absolutly no time to buy meds, so...i put some quick cure in the tank...i think it works..or..is it not possible? cause the med is different?

 

[kevin007]

Do i have to buy meds if this one works? (quick cure)

 

[WILDER]

For the finrot you need a bacterial med if it's bad.

It looks like some fish are ..healing, i cannot tell the difference between some of them, they drive me nuts looking at them. I dont know if they are healing themselves or the meds are helping them, but the case looks like it's getting better, funny how the cories are all fine
