Hi I got a baby jardini, after a week my jardini fin look like it got nibble alittle bit and I saw a black line in the middle of the body? Is it fin rot?

Here's another close up pic. I have a pleco that is with the same tank with the jardini and some feeder guppy. If that helps

yesterday was alittle bit on the tail today the top part of the tail is gone. I thought it was the pleco since people say they are aggressive fish. But I never thought feeder guppy can do this to an jardini.

Feeders carry parasites and diseases. Looked frowned upon in this hobby to feed live food unless you grow your own batch

Feeding it live feeder fish from the pet store never do that lesson learned sorry it's tragic but pet store live fish never healthy filled with disease. If you feed live use self bred feeders or shrimp less likely to carry ghost shrimp but still not recommended

Ya lesson learned. Now I have to hunt for another jardini in the bay area, which is hard to find since they say it's not the right season. Any1 know when is the season for jardini?
