So I just picked up a new Jardini 6" on craigslist for 60$ instead of the price of 200$+ at a LFS. The color is great for a 6inch but the tail mentioned by the owner was attacked by blood parrots. The top dorsal fin looks pretty ugly. I am curing it with high temps and aquarium salt along with fin medicine. I heard of trimming but by the looks of it, what do you guys think?3.JPG1.JPG2.JPG

Just continue with salt treatment and it'll heal soon enough
Nice find btw they look so cute at that size hahaha not for long though :D

+1

and also feed it good foods and it should be in good shape within 3-5 weeks. Besides the fins it looks good!
 
apart from the medications/salt treatment/higher temperature, please maintain excellent water parameters. We would like to see you aro recovers, and by then, pics please!! Keep us updated!! :)
 
Yea +1 on everyone's opinions. + don't cut anything. My aros bottom fins became tore up outta no where and was contemplating on whether to cut it but it just healed on its own. Looks awesome tho. Great catch
