Hey everyone,
I'll give a bit of a back story first, I had a 15 gallon tank that was at capacity, it had 6 guppies, 2 African dwarf frogs and 2 Cory catfish. My guppies quickly started spitting out babies so I set up a 5 gallon tank for them and cycled it. It got to the point I have (and currently have) about 60 fry. I quickly bought a 46 gallon tank and broke down my 15. I added substrate, water, plants, decor, and the filter from the 15 to my 46. The filter from my 15 (Aquaclear 30 and sponge filter) running with a biowheel 350 in my new tank. When bagging my fish to acclimate them to their new tank I noticed one of my fancy tailed males has a slit in his tail and a black edging that I hadn't noticed before. I'm to blame because I hadn't done a water change in about 2 weeks because I was getting a new tank. I moved him over to the 5 gallon by himself and started treating with jungle fizz tabs for fungus. Yesterday was day 4 of treatment and I did a 25% water change and added another treatment. He seems really stressed but his appetite is great. Would it be better for him to go into the 46 with the rest of the guppies. The water is pristine in that tank. Very clean. My readings in my 15 gallon was 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 30ish nitrate. My 5 gallon is 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 10 nitrate and my 46 is 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 30ish nitrate. The pH in all is between 6.8-7.2.
This is him in November.
This is him today
Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
