Just saw this during feeding time on my lapradei. Is it fin rot or just an attack?
It wasn't there yesterday. Need replies asap as I would go down to get some aid for fin rot asap tomorrow if that is the case.

If that is not a fin rot and the whole lapradei turns white,that would be awesome

Look like Fin Rot to me, if it was a attack I'd think it be a little more jagged and ripped.

Thanks for confirming my doubts.

I have currently isolated the lapradei in a 10g tank (I know its small but I don't have any other tanks left...) temporarily.
Will dose the appropriate treatment over a period of 5 days.

Thought I update you guys.

After 2 days of treatment, the 10g tank cracked. Lucky I was there so I drain all the water away and transfered the lapradei back into the main tank before the crack gave way. Guess he didn't like the treatment tank...

Since then it has been eating well, and the whiteness is slowly varnishing. I'll try and get some photos soon (when I manage to lift my lazy ass out of my bed)
