    fins are decaying away although the edges are clean.

    what kind of tank issit?

    issit a very old tank ? have you checked nitrates?

    if water quality is the case..... there is a tedious way..perhaps will help.

    administer heavier salt treatment...abt 5ml per 20litres and then do very frequent small water changes...if you are free at home, you can try 10-15% every few hrs..hopefully the water quality will stabilise at a new better level when you leave for work on monday.....


    keep at 28C,

    if not, get some anti-bacterial medication and administer for the entire tank. Do not catch the fish out.

    this is bad, female confirm to have columnaris so I fished her out. I just added a snakeskin in the morning too. *sigh*

    The tomorrow my friend coming to take the discus. *sigh*

    Will do the best I can, water change tomorrow after the discus are taken out.
    I could do a daily water change perhaps. 10% should be quite ok.
