I have a 135 litre tank with 23 fish of various freshwater species (Tetra, Mollies, Gouramis, louches and shrimp). Two of these fish are a breeding pair of German Blue ram cichlids. I noticed this morning that the female wasn’t swimming properly and couldn’t propel herself forward in the water very effectively. I had a closer look and noticed that her tail fin was missing! I don’t know if she has had it bitten off by others in the tank, if it is a case of finrot or if she has damaged herself due to decorations in the tank but I’ve noticed that the male has been chasing her around the tank quite a bit.
Is there any way I can help the situation, I have a quarantine tank set up and ready to go if needs be but I don’t want to stress her out that much. Recommendations on anything I can do to aid her healing is greatly needed and appreciated!?
Here is a picture of what she looked like before and a picture of what she looks like now...
