Re: L260 with fin issues
Wow! very good progress! You saved her for sure! At some point I almost lost hope myself (when her fins turned that red). But you did great and the fish as well. Congrats!

Thanks Jobro, I was worried too, I'm very pleased she has healed. Hopefully she'll grow larger before any more spawning attempts!

API Melafix at half dose. Why half dose?

Re: L260 with fin issues
I was just being cautious with the half dose. I try to avoid using medication unless it's really necessary.
I was also using a small syringe to apply the Melafix onto the affected area as closely as I could, my thinking was if the medication coated the affected area then the amount in the rest of the tank water wasn't as important.
I could be wrong but it seemed to work ok.
