Hi all, my Vieja synspilum was roughed-up by another fish about two weeks ago, it then had his injured fins nipped at by some typical fin-nippers (Leporinus)

Half the tail fin has eroded away and there is a fluffy white, what looks like fungus covering the it.

The Leporinus have since been removed, and I have been dosing Pimafix and Melafix for about 5 days so far - but there doesn’t seem to be any improvement.

I have been dosing the whole tank, so I’m wondering would I have more luck removing him into a 2 foot tank and dose him alone in that?

Thanks.

Would add some salt to the tank 1 tsp per gallon and get some api fungus cure. Can dab the area with a little methylene blue on a qtip. Keep the water pristine.
