get rid of the melafix and stress coat and just change the water until the ammonia
and nitrite is almost undetectable. if you add anything, add polyaqua.

I have now also noticed that the other gill fin has a black spot on the edge
as well.

In the meantime I have added Melafix antibacterial remedy.
and stress coat containing aloe vera.

...
I recently purchased a veil tail, a real beauty.
I have also a new celestrial and have them both in a quaranteen tank which
is still cycling.
The tank previously had two blackmores in there for a week or two.

Just today I noticed the veil tail had a black edge on one of the leading
edge of its gill fins...it looks like its almost detachable.

Any suggestions to what it is ?
Fin rot ?
I have done a search but doesnt look like a disease.
If it is a disease ...suggestions for treatment welcome.
