Here's a better picture. She always moves or is hiding. Well she never had it before and the other female has it to but the male doesn't but he is in another tank at the moment because he is fanning eggs which happened on friday night I only noticed this on the females yesterday and am concerned and would like to know if its fin rot before it gets worse. The fish I have is a 8cm angelfish, 5 tetras, 4 8cm simease algae eaters, 1 large bronze Cory and 2 small ones, a 30cm ghost knife an of coarse the bristlenoses. Thanks and hope someone could help.

I don't see anything that looks like fin rot. Maybe just an injury which can heal itself. Is she getting picked on by another fish?
A good water change, add VitaChem (vitamins) to the water. If you can. Could add garlicguard to the water. Garlic is a strong antibacterial antiviral anti fungal and is great for the immune system .
- just watch for "fuzzy" look or slimy look. Then infections set in.
My albino Cory had a huge "bruise" on its fin and got better with on its own with VitaChem .

No she's not getting picked on and thanks for that and if I think it getting worse ill try the vitachem

When the male pushes her to his cave and mates could he of done it to her

Sure. Always good to keep good food handy too. I got my Pleco to eat Thera-A. Again has garlic.
If you do see fuzzy or slimy happening; Melafix and Pimafix are all natural. Before you get into more harsh treatments
