it happens to me too...when i first started having cardinals , tail fin gone one by one...and each day lesser and lesser...still i'm not sure what happen it could be 2 reasons...one is predator, two is fin rot.

are you guessing if salt bath is a cause of all these?

to LSZ
I am not ruling that out.
i suggest an overdosing of a salt bath could be the cause.
my fish are their losing their tail fins ..then their lives and i can do nothing about it after having noted this prob

i AM RULING IT OUT, however
my cardinals, emperors and diamonds were perfectly fine with 3tbsp per 5 gallons of salt, not to mention my corydoras
what i suspect is wrong is that your salt contains some other stuff
have you used the antifungus/finrot yet? or went to buy aquarium salt instead of using the rock salt?

i'm suspecting the tail gone by the cardinals due to fin rot cos my cardinal was once liek yours.

salt causing fin rot??? nv heard b4

Dea, what's the difference between aquarium salt with that of those we eat? i used those which we eat to salt my tank.. only like 1 teaspoonful...

i know the difference between such salt with my marine salt.. so that is not an issue.. but would just like to know the diff between table salt and aquarium salt.[]

extra stuff
iodide for us and magnesium sulphate to prevent caking to name a few
but the point here is he's using rock salt
and i have no idea what could be in it
