if you put the new fish right in chances are the new fish brought in cooties and that
infected the moor the worst. need to quarantine new fish for a month. Ingrid

If all your parameters are OK, and all your fish are healthy

That is a possibility. The moor and the ryukin have been together for nine
months, but the oranda is a newer addition, he's been in the tank for a month.
I've never seen any aggressive behavior, except for the ryukin nipping at the
oranda the first ten minutes they were together in the tank.

The moor is acting better today, swimming around a bit. He's been eating
fairly well, too. Hopefully he'll pull through, but will his tail always be
shredded? Or does that eventually heal?
