I might have a little problem!

Um okay, first off today i noticed a white line, very tiny, going down zeus' tail fin and some other fins.Do u have any idea of what it is?Please tell me its not fin rot. Could it just be his coloring?!i doudt it.its along the outside of hes fins.

What is a zeus?

Could be fin rot. I might up the water change for a short time and add something like melafix to aid in external bacterial/fungus elemination. Shouldn't be a big deal if it is, sounds like you might have caught it early.

 

[Fuzz16]

it does sound like fin rot to me too...
if wc's arn't helping then try melafix


lol, Orion, a Zues is his oscar

I wouldn't say its fin rot quite yet. If its just a very thin white line edging his fins, a few good water changes over the next few days should fix him up just fine. I've noticed it on my fish occasionally if I've been slacking with water changes...you really notice it when you DO a water change, the extra oxygen in the water clings to it and makes it really stand out.

Oh, and Orion...a "Zeus" is an oscar

Okay, thanks.I just did a 50% water change so lets see if it helps.I'll also do a 25% change tomorrow.

Glad some people pick up on these things.

 

[SinisterKisses]

Lol only because I also replied to the "tankmates for Zeus" thread or something, so I know its an oscar

(Besides, at this point, you can pretty much assume its an O, everyone around here seems obsessed with them suddenly...)

 

[Orion]

Good point. I half expect to turn on the sink and have one squirt out one morning. lol

 

[Cichlid-Man]

That would be a nightmare wouldn't it? Goodness....i'm getting chills right now.

 

[Orion]

Yeah, I don't think my morning coffee would taste right if it were full of oscar's. Nightmarish indeed.

 

[SinisterKisses]

Lol wow...the direction some threads lead...tsk.
