Neon tetras with fin rot

[himdie]

Ok guys my tanks being funny lol i did a 50% water change 2 days ago that i do every week cleaned the glass of green dust algae trimmed plants and etc. Then i noticed yesterday my neons were being nippy with each other and have some fin rot and so checked my water and in at 7.5 ph and everything else is 0 which is weird since im usually at 10-20 nitrates so yea

Hi, I'm having the same issue, I have quarantined the fish and dosing with Pimifix for the next 7 days. I don't have a Q tank, I have just put him in a plastic container with an airstone and floating it in the tank to maintain the temperature. Good luck

It most likely wasn't fin rot. The neons were probably just picking on each other and that's why you saw torn tails. It should heal pretty fast in clean water.

You said you trimmed plants as well, right? It could possibly be you trimmed them a weird way and they're unhappy about that maybe. I've done huge water changes without negative effects to any plants.

No i only trimmed the melting parts honestly saw them melt so i took the melting leaves off
