I noticed the other day Peaches fins looked like he bit them a little. i didnt think it was rot then. Then yesterday I noticed he was clamped and it was water change day. did his water change and this morning the clamping has gotten worse. so i did another water change and at first he seemed to open a bit and now hes back to clamping. Im starting to get a little worried.
he is swimming around alot though which is good. he is in a 3.5 gallon critter keeper, heated to 80. he has the hydor theo 25 watt heater. he has 2 anubias and one marimo ball. when i do water changes i take about 70 % of the water out so i did that yesterday and today so his water is clean. ill do it everyday if i have to, if it gets him to unclamp. Oh and i do water changes with gravel vac so that the gravel gets cleaned out too because i dont do 100% changed since i have live plants. I do the two large water changes twice a week. all my others are fine, it is just him. Also noticed the tips of his fins look worse but theres no black edging so im not sure about fin rot. i do have AQ salt on hand. and TC tetracycline, but dont want to use that unless i have to. here are some pics
