    hi. I recently bought two goldfish and one of them somehow tore a part of its tail fin - not missing a piece but rather a slit in the fin horizontally and the front part of the dorsal fin is a little bent. I don't think that it is ill because i can't see any of the signs mentioned of the various diseases and the water pH levels seem fine. I'm new to this and was wondering if there was a way to treat this. thank you very much much for your help.

    For torn fins, you can try to add a little salt to help. In Singapore, most hobbyist prefer to use Melafix, which is proven to speed up healing of torn fins and open wounds.

    Hope that helps.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
