Thankyou for the replies
Could you tell me what polyaqua is and what it does ?
I will try and find an equivalent here in NZ.

I was talking to a friend last night and suggested it could be fin rot.
As its a veil goldfish and has been sitting on the bottom of the tank at
night.

Suggestions for a fin rot fix....
Have already given the tank a good clean out.

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.
