29 gal tank, cycled, get the water tested monthly, it's been "perfectly fine" for 4 months now. (There was a slight fluctuation when changing from my 10gal to the 29, and another slight fluctuation when adding fish but it's leveled out)
I have two medium sized fancy tails and a 1.5" long female bushy nose pleco. The pleco is fine (but wow she changes colors a lot!) Nothing wrong with her tail or fins. My two fancy tails have slightly frayed tails, just a few small splits here and there but that's it. I lost a goldfish a while ago to fin rot, happened almost overnight her whole tail was gone. I want to make sure that doesn't happen again.
I gravel vac half the tank each week which also removes about 4 gallons of water each time. I add aquarium salt back in every time for the volume of water i remove. I keep the temp at about 75, any lower and the heater legit just does not turn on.
Without adding meds any way to treat this, and is there an easy way to find the cause?
