Hi there,
I've been treating this fin rot issue for 4 months but failed. Please help. Here is the story.
75 Galon tank
Livestock:
1 blue tang
1 purple tang
1 powder blue tang
2 clownfish
I noticed one of my clownfish's tail rot at first, and then the other clownfish's tail and fin rot in a week. After the powder blue tang fin rot, I moved all the fishes to quarantine and left the display tank still running since I got some inverts in the tank. The QT was set up for some macroalgae for 2 months, so I didn't clean it up and just change the water.
1. I treated the fishes with API General Cure for 3 weeks, not healing. Did an 80% water change.
2. Tried Fritz Coppersafe for 30 days, not healing. Sometimes they seem like recovered a little, but it rotted again. Did another water change.
3. Tried Hikari Prazipro for 2 weeks, not healing. One of the clownfish was getting worse and worse. 90% water change.
4. Tried Seachem KanaPlex and MetroPlex both at the same time for 2 weeks. The clownfish got stable, but still not recovering.
5. Tried NeoPlex and SulfaPlex for 2 weeks, not much difference. I move them to another QT with new water and filter.
6. Kept dosing NeoPlex and SulfaPlex for 3 weeks and all finishes recovered.
I change the display tank water twice in the last 4 months and one more last weekend. Moved all the fishes back to the DT on Sunday. Today, I found out the powder blue got fin rot again. So frustrating and not sure what I can do. Please help.
