    Default Fins getting ratty, appitite loss

    So just over the past couple of days I have noticed an issue with my virgin red discus.

    His fins are a bit "tatty" and ripping easier then usual. I'll try and grab some pictures, but it almost looks like the tips of his fins are eroding and his tail has ripped twice in the past week (it still heals quickly though) His tail and pectoral fins seem to have the faintest hints of white on the tips as well.

    I also noticed just today that his appetite has dropped a bit today, and he is not filling his belly as fat as usual.


    All the other fish in the tank are fine, and I want to fix this before it really becomes a problem.

    I was thinking of doing a prazi-pro treamtment along with perhaps Pimafix.

    Any insite anyone could offer ??

    Never mind, I figured what what was wrong. My other discus is just beating on him and ripping his fins. There is a simple solution for this one.
