Rhombeus fin rot ?

[tikoisdabest]

This little rhombeus looks like he has anal fin rot ? curling ? I dosed with melafix for 7 straight days and did a water change and it didn't help...Any advice on what I should do ? Thanks

how long you had the fish? was it like this when you first got it?
what's your water parameters? (numbers) how long you had the tank up and running?

 

[tikoisdabest]

It was like this when I bought it, Water Params: Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrates: 10, tank has been up and running for 2 months fully cycled, I've had this rhom for 1 month

is it getting better or getting worse?
or it's exactly the same as when you bought it?

 

[tikoisdabest]

it looks like its the same

it might not be fin rot then
could be a fin bit that didn't heal well or a deform.
maybe better pictures to get a real close look at the anal fin

oh, does this mean that it can't be healed ? I'll try to post better pics today or tomorrow

It looks kinda like a bite that didn't heal right, one of my red bellies has something similar to that and I know it's from a bite that happened after I fist got em.

Is there a way it can be healed ? He can't die from it right ?
