Can some one give me a opinion on what this is on my Caribe fins?

I noticed they have been flicking alot on rocks etc.

I thought it might be white spot and have been treating them with WS3 white spot terminator.So far i have not seen any improvement in their condition in fact it looks
to have got worse.

Take a look at the pick and tell me what you think.
Much appreciated.

...well i'm not sure on this one (a closer pic might help) but keep in mind most Ps parasites will fade if you raise your temp (up to 83-84) and put some aquarium salt...just be patient since it can take some days and even weeks :nod: ...!

 

[compton ass steve]

good luck with that...but i must say that is one VERY nice caribe

 

[rbp 4 135]

Here is a closer look at the dorsal fin.
What is it?

Looks like some sort of fluke.

mny cariba had that once, i just added a tbs of salt per 5g and it was gone in a week.

Is cooking salt ok to use in the tank for the caribe?

 

[Malice]

table salt is fine.... make sure you dont add the salt to the tank, u need 2 dissolve the salt first before u add it...

 

[Rich_UK]

Ok will give it a go with the salt.
How often should i treat the tank after the first treatment?

Thanks for the advice.

My new rhom just got that the other day as of now I raised the temp. Stil a bit edgy I don't kno how to go about using the salt.

 

[sadboy]

1 teaspoon for every 5 gallons.

 

[The_Spoot]

Well if this is fluke what can it do to my fish?

 

[The_Spoot]

Rich tell me how ur fish is doing in a few days after its been treated so i can relate to make sure it's the same thing.

 

[KRS one]

[The_Spoot]

Well my rhom has recovered with the salt treatment from whatever are fish have. It began to just come of his tail little by litlle then the stran of it just fell to the gravel.

UPDATE:
I have been treating my caribe with salt and have raised the temp 28.5 ot 29c.
I have had some sucsess in reducing what ever it is aound the tail area.

But what is getting me down is what ever is on the dorsal fin has shown no sighn of clearing up. I am just starting my second week of salt treatment to see if i have any luck in removing.
I have followed the treatment pinned about salt.
Can anyone give me more advice on what to do if it has not shown any improvment
by the end of this week?

Kind regards Rich.
