Leopard Danio - Tail Rot? - Early signs of it?

Question

I was looking at my fish today and I saw my Leopard Danio. She/He at the end of its body- right before the tail (NOT its tail) that part is red on both sides of the body.. is this the beginning of fin or tail rot? I only have these medicines available to me if he does have it: MelaFix, Fungus Clear, Parasite Clear, Aquarium Salt (the fish i have are: 5 Black Skirt Tetras, 5 Flame Tetras, 2 Leopard Danios) - For the Aquarium salt i dont have another place to isolate the danio, and i cant catch him!! hes too fast for the net. I have a 29 gallon Freshwater tank. Thanks

Small area of redness on body- just before tail starts, very active leopard danio always racing around my tank? what is it

Answer 1

Could be septicemia also. I would use the melafix and see if that works. As always, I would also check your water quality and maybe do a partial water change.

Answer 2

Usually fin rot start at the end of the tail not on the base. I often had a hard time catching my fish. Get a small 2 gallon tank or bowl and catch him and put him there. I don't have a hospital tank for myself but I would often put them in one gallon tanks for the safety of my other fish.

Answer 3

if you have got fin rot don't take any fish out chances are its already in water.you need to get some interpret number 8.anti fungus and fin rot.and treat all of your tank .but you need to act fast.hoped that helped
