I have been gone a few days, and when I came home I noticed my Trigger's tail and fins were missing/torn. He is eating and appears to be doing well, but I am concerned it may be some type of bacterial infection, or one of the other fish are nipping, which is not likely the case. The rest of my fish do not have this issue. I have captured a picture below that shows his fins/tail.
I also found a site that had some information on fin/tail rot, and suggested a few things:
"This is a classic case of Fin and Tail Rot. It is caused by a Pseudomonas Bacteria (A condition called: Pseudomoniasis)."
Treatment: There are quite a few things you can use to treat this condition. TMP-Sulfa -or- Sulfa 4 TMP -or- Neomycin Sulfate -or- Tetracycline -or- Nitrofurazone.
Before I jump the gun here, can someone suggest what I should do here? If it does require treatment, I will QT him.
TIA
