I got two new girls yesterday and put them in my extra "hospital tank" to keep an eye on them before adding them to my sorority. When I went to check on them later I noticed they have a horrible case of fin rot which I am treating with aq salt and stress coat (and 100% daily water changes). I have some QuICK Cure for ick and parasites, should I add a drop of this as well? Also will they be ok together? They were both in the same tank at the store and I would hate to put them in tiny cups while they heal. Right now they are in a 2 gallon heated bowl and I haven't seen any agression. Any help will be appreciated Several of their tankmates were dead at the store so I really want to help these 2, they are adorable! (I will try to get some pictures later). Thanks!

If you decide to continue to keep them together then just keep a close eye on them and make sure they aren't beating the heck out of each other. Frequent water changes should help the finrot.

I definately had to separate them, I am begining to wonder if it was actually fin rot or if they had one heck of a battle. I decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and put them in the sorority tank and luckily even after a 4 day power outage they and the rest of my girls are doing great and are healing nicely. No sign of agression either :-D.
