Finless clown fish

[Gerry Wojo]

Just noticed my largest of 3 clown fish has lost all his lower fins? Tail is still intact. He is swimming well but ...The 2 smaller ones still have all there fins. There in with a lg Texas Cichlid & a pleco also in tyhe tank. They haver been in the 100 gal tank for at least a year. The tank has a gravel bottom, & someone has been moving it around to clear the bottom...So lots of glass bottom showing? Bacteria on the bottom eating away? I placed him in a 30 gal tank now with goldfish. Hope he will survive...Can I do more for him? Thanks gerry....

first of all when you say clown fish what do you mean????
second what are the parameters of the water.
ammonia
nitrate
nitrite
temp

He's a Clown Loach, All parameters are good! Water change every couple of weeks. Filters cleaned once a month...The other 2 are in great shape.. He's still swimming & eating good with the gold fish... Added stress coat to repair the fins..Hope that helps...

Do you know why the fins are gone? Did the Texas Cichlid do it?

 

[Gerry Wojo]

I don't think so. He never bothers any of the fish in the tank with him....

They dont look ripped or torn...just stunted like & rounded????????
