Help! My loaches fins are almost gone :(

[pinfish]

Hello all,
I just fed my two gold dojo loaches and noticed that their fins are almost completely gone and destroyed! I haven't noticed any fish aggression in the last few days in the tank but I am assuming that is the case? If that's not, what could it be? What can I do? Thanks! I'll try and post pictures tomorrow.

Could be fin rot. Would check ur water quality too.

If possible remove the Dojo Loaches and keep the water in the quarantine in pristine conditions. The fins will grow back over time.

Even if the other fish have perfectly fine fins?

What other fish are in with them?

What other fish are in with them?

Black skirt tetra, ghost catfish, synodontis cat, figure 8 puffer (the suspected culprit), and some platies.

I cant imagine keeping a figure 8 with anything other than bumble bee gobys.

Also this is a brackish fish it what appears to not be a brackish tank?

 

[tlindsey]

Yes I would definitely suspect the Figure 8 Puffer.
