Flasher wrasse possible fin rot

[lee_d_m]

Hi,

I have had a Carpenters flasher wrasse in QT for 3 weeks. He has been fine from day 1, very active and always eating.

I went away for a week last week, and when I came back I noticed that both his two dorsal filaments are missing as well as a small chunk out of his tail.

I suspect this is fin rot. He is still active and eating and appears healthy.

I have not dealt with this before so I would appreciate some advice on the best course of action.

I have Myxazin, Sera Tremazol and Metroniadole in my medicine cabinet right now.

Finally, can high phosphates be a cause of this, I have an Elos high res phosphate kit and when I tested the water, the phos level was off the scale.

I do a 20% water change every fortnight on my QT so I wouldn't have though the water quality would be too bad.

I've tried to upload a couple of photos to show the damaged fins.

All advice appreciated

Thanks

Lee

If this is fin rot (can't tell for sure from the pics), then Myxazin is what you want to use.
