I just went to check and it seems like shes getting better. Her slin has rehained its grey colour and the fin is losing the red. Just hoping that she recovers completely.

"However none of them have the ability to do that( i think) "

You've named quite a few fish that have the ability to cause damage. I would say ever single one you listed could be tje culprit...even the other sens

Not however the damage caused because it all seems to be internal damage. As said before , no cuts nor scrapes can be seen. So unless one of my fish can do damage on the inside of a fish, i was right.

A few more details please.

What size is the tank?

What fish are in the tank? How big are they?

How often do you change the tank water, and how much do you change?

How much do you feed and how often?

What foods do you feed?

Do you own a test kit? If so what is your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels?

Have you added any new fish, plants, rocks or wood recently?

Did you clean/quarantine any new additions?
Hello; This.

put into a quarantine tank
Hello; This.

treat with methylene blue and Seachem Kanaplex.
plain salt 1tsp per gallon and what rocksor has mentioned.
Hello; Some suggested treatments in QT but not sure what your response is so far. Before any other suggestions it will be useful to know the steps you have taken. Not clear you have done anything at all yet.

I just went to check and it seems like shes getting better
Hello; You can see the fish in person but these photos were not much help.

Hello; OK, I guess you have it figured out.

Good luck anyway.

One of the other fish easily grabbed that fin, and pulled it. The other poly can do that with no problem. Hence the damage shown in the first picture, and the additional redness in the other pictures.

Thanks other jaws. The redness has now completely gone though the fin is looking a bit ragged around the edges and it still looks a bit off. Hoping that it heals over compltely soon.
