Help!

Since I got him nearly all his fins are damaged... his lungs are insanely red! Or is this his natural colors?!?!? All my other fish are doing fine and normal vibrant colors... do their fins grow back? Am I going to find him floating upside down any time soon?

is it possible it's getting badgered by other fish? maybe the puffer? or redeyes?

I would qt that fish to eliminate damage/contamination. No lights and keep an eye on the fish.

honestly i would say its the puffer probably messing with him at night, my puffer attack my dwarf gourami's and killed them.. the best thinng to do is whatt flippercon said.quarentine him and maybe even ad some melafixand pimafix, if your fish isnt to far gone the stuff works wonders!

Thanks so much for the advice... :-( My wife told me if he can't survive in the tank then we don't need to keep it :-( I was already going to put him in my other tank but she won't let me set it up....

im not gettin married ;) but its always a good idea to have a quarentine tank setup and ready in case of a fish emergency like that

Was this guy your idea or hers? LOL it just sounded like it's yours and she's not too keen on him from the get go. Otherwise she would have had you take him out a while ago haha

sounds to me like she doesnt like that fish. agreed. she's fishest! tell her she cant just pick the ones that are "cute or pretty" and that they all have feelings, i think ...

I agree, I used to have a puffer too and it pick on and nipped at fins of its tank mates too.

how many tanksdo you already have setup???
