2 25 gallon fluval filtration units

Emperor gill fins seem to have sheraded. having trouble swimming
Eat well tonight.

HOW DO I TREAT

My prized fish hate to lose.
 
Fin Rot uasually isn't a big deal to treat, just an antibotic and fungal remedy should work, if you want to keep bio-filtration alive in the tank use Products calles Primafix and Melafix
 
Emporers are very sensitive to water quality and stress from not having enough room. IME, fin rot is usually caused by these factors. In a QT tank that small, you probably need to do sizeable daily water changes in addition to antibiotics. Hopefully there is another tank besides the 90 gallon in your signature for your emporer to go into. A 90 gallon is too small, even for a juvie.
