1~What type of fish is afflicted? Male Cherry Barb. Dorsal fin got nicked last week when I was doing weekly pwc. He got too close to the tube and went for a ride. Noticed a nick in the leading edge of his dorsal fin about 2/3 of the way up from his body. After a couple of days, the portion of the fin above the nick was gone. This morning (7 days later) I noticed that there is a light grey area where the fin was nicked. Sometimes it looks fuzzy, but depending on the angle it looks more solid.
2~What are your tank parameters (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, temp, pH)? 0 / 0 / <5 / 80f / 7.5
3~ How large is the tank? How long has the tank been set up? 5g Eclipse Hex 5 running for 9 weeks.
4~What type of filtration are you using? 5g Eclipse Hex 5
5~How many fish are in the tank? What kinds of fish are they and what are their current sizes? 3 Cherry Barbs 1m, 2f each approx. 1.25 in. 2 Oto Cats approx 1 inch.
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? 7 days ago. Weekly. 25%
7~How long have you had the fish? 9 weeks
8~Have you added anything new to the tank. 2 Oto cats added on Saturday.
9~What kind of food have you been feeding your fish, have you changed their diet recently? Flake
I tried to take a picture/video of the fish but he's just too darn fast. I have noticed no change in his behaviors or eating habits.
Any ideas?
