    Hi,

    What are the most common signs of fin rot in marine fish? What have you noticed if you've experienced fin rot? And how can you tell if the fish's fins are being nipped or if it is rot? I've been looking online but haven't found anything too helpful.

    Thank you!!

    Okay thanks! That's what I was wondering. My damsel is missing a piece out of his dorsal fin and tail fin, but it looks like a clean cut. There's no apparent fungus, color change, shredding, etc. Him and my clown seem to get along fine, but I wouldn't be surprised if my clown was nipping when I wasn't around.
