Hi all,
I have a quite densely 10g planted tank consisting of:
Java Fern
Java moss
Crypts
Anubias
I dose Ei, but all in one go at the start of the week and excel daily. I have a Betta splenden, bought 3 months ago.
Just yesterday I noticed a substantial amount of fin missing from his back. This surprised me as I've not noticed it before but it looks a lot like fin rot. Would dumping too much fert into the water column cause this? I'm thinking not, but have read that poor water conditions bring it on in most cases.
I do just over a 50% water change per week, so confused as to how this happened, unless he had it when he was bought and it's just happened slowly over time. Not sure how fast rot occurs?
It must be said I never deep vac the gravel only wave the vac across the top. I only have the crypts planted in the gravel. Maybe this is an issue?
Anyone have some good advice on how to proceed with this, would adding salt to the tank work?
Cheers in advance
