(sorry, this should be in the disease thread...)
I've had a new 46 gallon bowfront setup for about a month now that currently consists of 4 angelfish and an eclipse catfish (recently gave away 3 rainbow sharks). They've seemed healthy enough, and the water readings have been nice and stable:
Ammonia 0 ppm
Nitrate 5 ppm
Nitrite 0 ppm
Hardness 120 ppm
Alkalinity 145 ppm
pH 7.2
Temp is at 78 degrees F
However, I just noticed tonight that one of my angels has a beat up caudal fin:
(the angel is swimming normally btw - the photo is rotated)
Does it look like it's a disease (fin rot?) or do you think it could be another fish took a chomp out of him (in which case would likely be the eclipse catfish)?
Please help! Thanks in advance for any advice!
