Hi Bros,
My SBKM fins suddenly turn white, he will turn upside down when the lights is off but will swim around when the light is on. Below is a pic of him. Any cure to it? Is this contagious? Please help. Thanks. |

Will it be better if I remove it and place in a separate tank?

Fin rot starts at the edge of the fins, and destroys more and more tissue until it reaches the fin base. If it does reach the fin base, the fish will never be able to regenerate the lost tissue. At this point, the disease may attack the fish's body directly. |
