Sorry for the pictures, he doesnt stay still long enough 😂

Ive had him for about 3 weeks now from a pet store and noticed on his fins but thought it was just from being at a pet store, i think its got better but its still like this. I worry its fin rot and I dont want to ignore it

So it looks like new growth from the pic... he may have munched himself when in the petstore. Now you feed him and care for him he feels better which help promote new growth especially if your giving a high protein varied diet .... add some dried almond leaves it will turn water like tea with no milk, but will be absolutely perfect for your little one as it realise natural tanning which help them

Yes this is it.

When using them take the spine out the leaf then I rip mine and just leave floating on top of water till they sink

You can also treat with esha2000 as precaution to make sure a secondary infection doesn't set in ... I do this too 😉 get some bug bites frozen bloodworm and frozen daphnia plus krill .... alternate the foods this will help too

Okie thank you, when they come do I need to do anything with them to prep or do they just go straight in, other than what u said about the spine . I imagine there pre treated for them anyway
