Veiltail tail problem

sometimes fish can stand slowly increasing levels of wastes... OTOH, they may be
sensitized to it now. but ragged fins is almost always water quality problem.

That's interesting.

When I rescued these fish (the other owners moved away, and the fish
were left behind in a house that some friends bought) the nitrates
were over 300ppm (at least, it was beyond the measuring abilities of
any of the test kits that I bought) and I didn't see anything like
this on them. I'll keep trying to get the nitrates down more though;
no harm in that.

Thanks,

Jan
