There is a small whole i my gouramis fin. Im dont think its fin rot, because doesnt that start from the outside and work in? I cant quarintine him, because ive got to cherr barbs in the qt already being treated for an internal parasite. Ill test the water right now and post the results.
EDIT:The fish is eating normally and acting pretty much normal. (he is a tiny bit slow, but not much)
~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). ---small (about a millimeter long) whole in pelvic fin. Also a transparent section on the feller thing. Although i think that was there before.
2~What are your tank parameters (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, temp, pH)? Please give exact values. --- ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 0 ph 7.4
3~ How large is the tank? How long has the tank been set up? ---24 gallon set up since late november, cycled since january
4~What type of filtration are you using? Please give the name and number (i.e. Fluval 304) and amount of gph if known. --- aquaclear 30
5~How many fish are in the tank? What kinds of fish are they and what are their current sizes? ---10 fish 4 cherry barbs (other two in qt for internal parisite) 3 zebra danios 2 peppered coories and the gourami
6~When is the last time you did a water change and vacuum the gravel? How often do you do this? ---How much water do you remove at a time? 2weeks ago. I usually do once a wek but i was busy. 30%
7~How long have you had the fish? If the fish is new, how did you acclimate it/them? first fish i got, so january.
8~Have you added anything new to the tank--decor, new dechlorinator, new substrate, etc.? No
9A~What kind of food have you been feeding your fish, have you changed their diet recently? --- Nutrafin flakes bloodworms stwice a week, and he also likes the cories food. Also gave the main tank some anti parasite food so that they dont get what the cherry barbs have.
One more thing, just recently his"buddy" the female dwarf gourami dide of unknown causes, so he was acting abit lonley for a while but i thought he was getting better.
