One of the juli cory cats I had brought home from a pet store I had noticed before I even bought him, had a little fray in his fins. Otherwise he seems healthy and happy. There is no discoloration in his fins, it hasn't gotten better or worse since he's been home, and my other two cories are also perfectly fine and content. Since this was a pre-existing condition, I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help it along or if that's just going to be how he is for the rest of his life. My double tail Beta also has a small bit of fraying, again that way when I brought him home, and he hasn't gotten worse or better either. I've read a little about using freshwater salts to help aid healing but I wasn't sure if that was the proper action here.
If healthy and happy otherwise is great, then I won't do anything, but I'd like to see what, if anything I could would be useful to them.
(tank info) I have two juli and one spotted cory cats and a double tail Beta, none of them are fully grown yet.
10 gallon tank filter/heater. Two live plants (one Amazon Sword, and the other a type of fern).
Ammo: 0 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: 5 Temp: 76-78 (and hasn't moved ever) pH: 7.8 (high but stable, haven't been sure if I should try peat moss in the filter since I'm afraid of the level spiking and not going back down to where it was previously fast enough with the PWCs, just afraid of spikes and drops that could disturb my fish. Read either way about lowering is good to, as long as its stable it's alright. I have no desire to get my cories to spawn which I've mostly see come up with trying to lower pH levels.)
