Fin Rot?

[AngelaOlsenFan]

I have a 2" red cap oranda, and I think he might be starting to get fin rot. He's been very healthy, and lately is growing like crazy, but just recently I've noticed his fins are getting a little ragged.

(He lives alone in a 6 gallon tank, upgraded from a 3 gallon a couple months ago. It's filter by an Aquaclear mini filter. I do water changes every week or two.)

What can I do to make sure it doesn't get worse? Any medication recommendations? Or do fishes fin just get ragged over time? (I've had him for 7 months.)

Crushing,

I removed you from this thread. Being rude to people does not help anything. Everyone here works very hard to try and help everyone. I am sorry that this thread was overlooked. That does not give you the right to insults us and our forum.

Angela,

What are you test readings? Finrot often comes from non perfect water. A goldfish in 6 gallons is a huge bioload. You may want to start changing water every couple of days and see if you can manage at least a 29 gallon tank for your little friend.
