Hi all, does this look like fin rot to you? atm im treating it as fin rot with melafix and pimafix, but reading around the internet it seems these 2 treatments have variable results.
Im not sure how my fish caught it as i do a 40% water change every week. he lives in a 120x36x30cm tank with some bristlenoses. the only thing i can think of was i was a couple of days late changing the water and that the bristlenose (2 adults, 30 babies) are growing up more and therefore mucking up the water more.
The tops of his fins are disappearing and at the end of each barb there is a white nodule, it doesnt look fungus-ey, it looks more like an ulcer or inflamed lymph node. His fins are inflamed as well. Ive got some pictures below. Its also spreading to his pelvic and anal fins.
Ive had him for almost 4years please help!
Does it look like fin rot to you? Is it in a serious stage? what treatments have you used that have been effective?
