Hello,
My Silver Dollars appear to have fin rot but I am unsure if this is actually what it is. NO other fish in the tank are affected or have ANY signs of damaged fins . . . just the Silver Dollars. There are 2 of them in particular that exhibit this. Both are on the Tail Fin. Basically the bottom tip of the Tail is starting to wear away.
I have been treating with Melafix but haven't noticed any change. Is it possible that this is from nipping? I do have a Gourami in the tank that has been know to chase his tankmates . . . it just looks too clean to be a nip and I would suspect that would heal fairly quickly.
Are you aware of anything specific to Silver Dollars that may be an issue?
I have 4 in a 33 along with the one Gourami, an algae eater and a handful of Neon's. The are eating perfectly fine and quite active within the tank. Temp is 79 and water good as nitrates go. Tank has been cycled for well over a year with no water/algae problems.
Help?
