    Can I treat fin rot in my main reef tank? My Mandiran had it plus in a qt he won't have food? No other fish seem to have it.

    What are you trying to feed him? As for your question I am a novice and do not have an answer.

    You could let nature take its course. If you put him in qt it wont work IMO because there are no pods to feed him unless your mandarin is tank raised and eating frozen. Just find out who is the harasser and if not then check your parameters or water quality.

    Infection is commonly brought on by bad water conditions, injury, poor diet, or as a secondary infection in a fish which is already stressed by other disease.

    Anything picking on him?
