Aquarium Advice Regular
Talk about getting ripped - I haven't had my new giant gourami for 2 days and he has tail rot...pretty bad too. He's very skittish so I haven't been able to get a good look at him until this morning and noticed he has a red sore-like patch at the base of the side of his tail. The rest of the tail at that area is shredded and blackened, eaten away basically. I bought tetracycline to treat it because it was way cheaper than the maracyn and you don't have to give as many tablets either. I put him in a hospital tank alone and also treated the main tank with 2 capfuls of some greenish liquid that said it treats fin and tail rot and other fungus. Hope I did the right stuff...
