Hey everyone, I just got 6 Williamsi North Makonde Blue Lips, and they look great and are getting along with the tank mates fine but one has a problem.
The pectoral fin on one is very damaged. It is still intact, but he rarely uses it and is on the bottom of the tank constantly to keep from using the fin. It looks like he keeps it tucked in and protected as much as possible.
I have a 10g I can use as a hospital tank i guess but it currently has glofish in it. I was still thinking of tossing him in there for protection from the other cichlids, although the other fish have not messed with him at all yet. The fish looks very healthy besides the fin problem and I would hate to lose him due to a shipping injury.
Any meds I can give him? I have some ick meds, Stress Coat, Prime and aquarium salt.
Any help is appreciated, thank you very much!
