Howdy,

Just a quick mention on API pimafix.

Had a zebra danio in quarantine for the last 3 weeks due to it having its back fin nipped off by dominant zebra male.

Been keeping water clean and treating with pimafix and thankfully the fins growing back from next to nothing left.

Hopefully another week or 2 in quarantine the zebra can be added back to the main tank.

Really didnt think it would but it just shows if you act quick enough theres always a chance.

Highly recommend API pimafix to anyone with the same situation.
 
How many zebra danios do you have in the tank?
What other fishes are in the tank?
What is the temperature of their tank?

Zebra danios are not renown fin nippers but sometimes they get a bit boisterous and if there isn't enough fish in the group, the smaller weaker ones can be bullied. If you have zebra danios, try to keep them in groups of at least 6 (preferably 10) or more.

Danios are cool water fish that do best in temperatures between 16-24C. They will tolerate cooler and higher temperatures, however if they are kept in warm water all the time, the females can become egg bound.

Hi colin,

I have 6 zebra danio's (including the one in quarantine) tank mates are 6 cherry barb, 6 cardinal tetra and 6 panda cory.

Temp of tank is 24.8c.

Just went to feed them one morning to find the problem. I did see the male being boisterous towards the finless zebra. No problems since quarantine. Everything peaceful in the tank since.

Hoping it was a one off
