poor finney....
my beautiful calico fantail goldfish has been suffering from this persistent case of fin rot over the last two months. to be honest, i'm not even sure if it is fin rot. the only symptom she has is jagged fins. no redness, black/white edges, etc. she's got two dips, i'd call them, on her dorsal fin, two on one ventral fin, and three on the other. they just started one day and slowly got worse. good news is they've been pretty stable for the last month, month and a half. bad news is there's been no visible healing. one day it looks a little better, another, it looks a little worse, but for the most part stable. i tried melafix at the first sign of it, but that didn't really do anything. so, i've been trying to keep the tank as clean as i can, still no progress. i started a salt treatment yesterday, which will hopefully work. i'm upping the salinity today a little since she's not acting stressed from it so far. just needed to rant a little bit, i love this little fish and i want her to grow her long pretty fins back.
