Hi, I have a male Peacock's eye and for unknown reasons he started to have a ragged tail. He had a normal cap tail, but now he's bitten, and he's the only fish in the aquarium, so he had no one to bite. Don't know what it is? Thank you very much
This will most likely be this? ...! Bacterial decay of the fins ... A relatively common bacterial infection, in which gradually increasing whitish areas appear on the muzzle, scales and fins, these continue to shake, their edges fall off and the affected areas attack fungi. The spread of bacterial fin decay in fish is largely influenced by the hygienic conditions in the aquarium tanks as well as stress factors (repositioning of the tanks, oppression of the fish by dominant individuals, etc.). Treatment is possible at an early stage with some drugs containing antibacterial chemotherapeutics (TERAP-AB, Bactopur). Prevention consists in maintaining the best possible breeding conditions (cleanliness and maintenance of tanks, ensuring low nitrogen and phosphorus content, sufficient oxygen, serving varied food, suitable water parameters, minimizing stress in fish). more here >>>> http://www.akvarijni.cz/nemoci.htm ☢ ☠ ☣ ☠ ☣ ☠ ☣ ☠ ☢
