mystus leucophasis urgent help

Post by AndritVoor »

Help, my catfish, I fear has fin rot. It has destroyed hos second causal fin and spread to his back in only 48 hrs. It looks like white, dead tissue. I assume it came from fighting with the other two. What can I do, I just changed water, and added salt. Im gettng melafix tommorow. Is there any chance this is just dead skin falling off, he had soem cscratches, or is this full blown fin rot? Do you think he'll survive until I can get mealix?

Transfer the fish to a quarantine or hospital tank. Treat the fish there and do water changes of probably 30% daily until he's fine.
