I’ve been treating what I feel like is fin rot in my Flowerhorn aquarium with aquarium salt. His fin has neither healed nor got worse in 10 days I am confused.

nitrates, ammonia, nitrites all 0 when I do a test every other day, but today I let my water sit for like 15 mins and cool before testing and I got some small nitrites readings and higher ph. I did it again, but tested right after getting the water everything is at 0 again..which is accurate?

temperature is 84 degrees, 50% water change every 4 days and solo Flowerhorn with 2 ac110. The rest of his body is perfect and fish eating acting very healthy.

attached is a picture with fin of concern

Thank you!

How long has aquarium been up and running? The reason I am asking is because you should have a positive reading for Nitrate.

Maybe a tear as it’s not receding on the finlets. It should recover.

It was running for years but for the past few months only had small corys because I wasn’t sure what to stock, here is a picture I believe it’s almost at 0

Thank you for your reply it

ph is somewhere

Ph is around 7.6 I believe.. whenever I do the regular ph I get blue, but when I do the high range ph I get a light brown
Okay great. I agree with kno4te kno4te the fin should recover with time.
