question

[mwalter]

Can someone tell me if fin rot is left untreated, can it eventually turn into an infection on the body? The fish I saw were all tangs (yellow, blue hep, sailfin) with horrible fin rot and a black/brown sore spreading over the body. Sorry, will post a pic asap, thanks!

Are these fish yours?
If a fish has fin rot it is a clear indication that the animal already has a serious infection and needs treatment.

No, I do set-up and maintenance on tanks and a restaurant with a 270 reef asked me to look at their fish.
