So i just got home the neon damsel is still doing this, i looked close and his bottom anal fin looks a bit split & tattered, could this be the start of fin rot?
what else could it be?

Was this fish used to cycle the tank?
It is likely damage or irritation due to high ammonia and or Nitrite levels

I wonder if the damage could have been done prior to you getting it. Has it always been like this or has this just developed?

Nobody bully's him, he is the daddy, king of the tank......it's got to be more than that guys, again his mouth & Gills are opening & closeing very rapidly, if it was not for this then yeah thats what i would think, will see if he deteriorates, will def buy another beauty fish... | |
