Tail biting or fin rot?

[Gracie8890]

Blitz haseither been tail biting or he has fin rot! I cant tell wich one it its, but i think its tail biting. His tail will look like its healing then be in shreds a day later. If it is tail biting what can i do about it? He was a beautiful boy when i got him, why is he now doing it? Heres a pic: sorry anout quality

Anybody? Im really scared his fins are going to get shorter and that he could die from it! Please help!

I'm not too sure of which it is but either way you can treat both diseases the same way. Just to be safe, you can move around all his decor; then just treat for fin rot so his fins heal back. You can add 1tsp per gallon of AQ salt and increase your water changes so that his water is very clean and promotes fin growth.

Ok i just did a water change, i have vitachem in his water to help with regrowth of fins but ill add some aq salt, with aq salt hurt my live plants?

It might - most plants don't tolerate salt too well.

Ok i wont add aq salt. If it gets any worse i will switch blitz and crushes tanks so i can medicate blitz with aq salt without harming my plants
