    Default Fin damage or desease

    I just picked up from Hans and I did not see this until I got home or he fished out the wrong fish that I picked out. Is this fin rot?
    Should I be woried and separate and treat. I do 60% daily water changes right now.

    Appreciate some insight.

    No its not fin rot or disease. Sometimes when change of environment occurs they lose a bit of their finnage. It is nothing to worry over and it heals quickly.

    You will love them!

    Tammy is right. It could be ammonia burns from shipping from Germany that you just didn't notice when you chose your fish from Hans, but it's nothing that WC with good clean stable water won't heal.

    I have currently have 10. Three of them are small 2.5" but looking for a second 75 on Craigslist. I have one in mind waiting for response but I can always pickup at Petsmart on sale with stand 399.00. They also have the Top Fin125 G for 499.00 very tempted. I would like to separate the three 2.5" and the two 4" german wonders in a second tank.

    I thought that maybe there were too few fish in the tank but obviously that was not the case. I don't know what to tell you what to do about your mean BD. With luck the time out will do the trick.

    Just picked up for $100 from Facebook market place a 55 gallon complete and new never used.

    Tank
    Metal stand
    Led lights
    Aqueon LED 75 filter
    Aqueon 200 watt heater (not going to use since it has no settings just Auto)
    Plus it has about $100.00 worth of fancy decorations that I don't know if I will ever use.
    Well they might make some nice hiding places.

    Filled it up yesterday to verify for leaks and it's all good.

    Update on checkers she seams to be healing and she look's much better.
