Because im not yet 'up there' with all the fishkeeping business I might not
be that good at helping but anyway... all I can say is that you need to keep
and eye on him {I think there has been some 'fin nipping' going on and he
was the one that got it}.make sure he gets some food at feeding time and
WATCH OUT for any infections. it will take a while for him to heal.

When I came home from work last night, my black moor's tail fins were
totally
shredded, and he's missing some scales on his side. I have absolutely no
idea
what happened - there are two other gf in the tank but I've never seen
them
attack one another. The substrate is large rounded natural stone.
There's
nothing sharp in the tank. I have a "basket" over the end of the filter
intake
to keep the fish from getting sucked into it.

My other two gf, a ryukin and an oranda, are just fine. But the moor's
tail is
shredded, it's probably in a dozen long strips or more.

Water quality is great - just did a 30% water change a few days back,
ammonia
and nitrites at 0 and nitrates are around 10ppm. PH is 7.2, which is what
it
has always been. No changes recently in the tank, food, or filter.

So I have two questions. First, what in the world happened, and second,
is
there anything I can do for the poor guy? He is having trouble swimming,
but
is able to get around slowly and did eat this morning.
