tail rot

regarding about the whitish colour, i think it's a dead tissue. As the tissues die, it sloughs off and hence you see edges like that on your aro's fins.

hi bro i think this few day the east area water no so good my also got these thing (slime),just add raw salt and medication for slime and increase the temp to 1 to 2 degree higher,should be ok.

Bro, better remain good water management. Hope for the best.

usually it is due to water quality
Has nothing to do with stress.
Mantain good water quality, add salt, add melafix and heater should do the trick

Wah melafix is used for a few things
Cant seem to recall now but one of it is to treat fin n tail rot, open wouds and some fungustreatment if not mistaken
It also serves as antibacteria thing
