So, here's the info. She has a plecostomus (name is Nebula) living in her tank and he has been for three weeks. I just added my first three live plants in their tank and landscaped it a bit since I put more substrate than intended in it and like it pretty well... but today Ama has been getting tears in her fins she didn't have this morning and now I'm kind of panicking. They're in a five gallon (upgrading to 15 next payday) and yeah, I realize my mistake in not getting the bigger tank first. Is it Nebula or something else?

Sorry for the pictures of choice to show her fins, but she's never NOT moving when she's being showy.

Hi, are the splits healing? I can't see any fin rot so am thinking miss-adventure but an extra water change is always handy to reduce any organic matter in the tank and freshen water.
