Hi All,
I picked up this fish less than 2 weeks ago and he's housed all alone in a 42g tank. Noticed a transparent patch first on the tail fin 2 days ago, and now saw its getting bigger.
I'm feeding him Hikari pellets (Cichlid Biogold+ & Excel) & Chingmix Sp pro regularly. I have a canister filter fir the tank (JBL e900). The fish is otherwise active and no paleness,kok getting small is noticed. He seems to have lost his appetite since today,is eating much less. I checked water parameters yesterday and except for Nitrates,all were ok. Nitrate was 40-80ppm. What could be the problem here and how do I treat it ?
Notice the tail fin in first 2 pics, the last one is how he was on Day 1
