Treat with Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride

I had this on mine and simple salt helped. 1 tbsp per 10 gallons

I would try clean water and salt. Meds should always be your last option.

I agree with John, doesn't appear to be too serious. If you just put them through an M1/M2 treatment, it can also cause redness at the base of the fins. See how she fairs in a few day off antibiotics.

I agree with the advice above...however, if you do decide to go with some Oxytetracycline click here (http://www.eliteaquaria.com/AQUASCIENCE_OXYTETRACYCLINE_HYDROCHLORIDE_POWDER_p/aoxy.htm) for mine at only $17.99 100g
