Hey guys recently picked up a 5 inch regal, hes currently in a bare bottom qt with a porcupine puffer
First day in he ate some frozen food, today though I noticed part of his left fin looks a little shredded at the tip and under his fin is a little red, additionally he refused food and has been scratching his side on the PVC I have in there
Looks to me like bacterial infection but I was hoping to see if you guys agree or maybe think its parasites
I could freshwater dip if you guys think it could be parasites
Now for a bacterial infection I have a few options:
Ati Furan 2 which I actually dont like as I think it's too strong
Ati Melafix which I dont think really does anything
Seachem metroplex which would be good if it were still eating
Seachem kanaplex which is my preferred method
I personally think I should go with kanaplex, (can/should I combo it with melafix?)
All thoughts welcome, thanks for your input guys
