I think my Ryukins have a slight case of fin rot.........
This is the 2nd time Sputnik has had it in a month (or else I didn't get him completely cleared up last time). I put him in QT and treated with tetracyclene as directed, he cleared right up (or so it seemed) and was reintroduced to the main tank about 3 weeks ago.
Now he is showing ragged fins again, as well as my other Ryukin Ollie, and one of the WCMMs.
I am noticing he is quite a bit thinner than Ollie, although they are the same size, so I think he may have some internal parasites going on.
I plan to pick up some API General Cure tonight (it has Prazi and Metro in it) to treat for internal parasites, but will that clear up the fin rot as well? I am going to just treat the whole tank since I am seeing it on both goldies this time.
If the general cure is not the best route to go.......what are better options out there? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have several meds that say they treat fin rot, but I would prefer to use the Prazi. Can/should I combine the general cure with another med?
