Hey guys, noticed some fin rot/ damage on my flagtail. Not sure if it’s fin rot as it hasn’t progressed or recovered in 2/3 weeks. He’s in the tank with an aggressive indonesian tiger fish which I suspect is dishing some damage as I wake up some mornings to a few loose scales but nothing serious. Don’t want to unnecessarily treat the tank so would like some second opinions if it’s fin rot. Thanks a bunch!207DF7C3-F1FC-4056-9FBC-46D9EA9BD483.jpeg

The Flagtail will never heal because the Datnoid will continue to harass it. Btw doesn't look like fin rot. I recommend rehoming the Flagtail.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I’ll try to leave it in for a bit more as I’ve only got 4 fish in a 350G. Will try to add some decorations as distractions as it’s a bare bottom tank.
