Thats what it looks like to me, either that or somebody else has been nipping at his fins.

Not really sure what to recomend though as your already treating with something else. I wouldn't want them reacting with each other.

Hmmm i am not sure either

have seen another shark at him. But all his fins are shredded.

looks like someone has been nipping the fins. The white on the tail could be fungus but fungus normally only gets in when there is damaged tissue from a previous injury. Most whitespot medications treat finrot and fungus as well. See how things look in a week and make sure no-one else is chomping him/her.

Ok some news its the clown loaches that are feasting on the bala. had lights out and was watching them.

Oh what to do now, Any ideas why the clowns would be doing this this as they normally peaceful, all other balas are ok.

Make sure it is the fish nipping on the fins.
As finrot common on top of whitespot.

Have a bit of a dilema, Bala been feasted on by all fish Now!!, It is like they taking a mouthfull of his fins and they eating it.

feel so sorry for him, I Dont know what i should do? Should i leave him there to be eaten alive or put him out his misery?

Hospital Tank maybe?

 

[dzsigmond217]

I agree..Hospital tank. Is there anyone you know with a fish tank you could give him to?
If its all the fish that are nipping him the poor little guy has no chance.
Could it be that the other fish started nipping at his fins BEACAUSE he had fin rot?
I'm curious....

 

[scotslasszoe]

Thanks guys, The very kind owner of my LPS took him off me

What a relief, he was sure to have been a gonner if he stayed in my tank
