what is it? a fungal infection? fin & tail rot, i've had fish in the past with those problems and it never looked like this though. i'm in the process of setting up a qt but don't know what i'm treating for. i have melafix and maracyn on hand. the fish is still active although, it seems like she's having some difficulty swimming and she was doing great yesterday and eating like a pig (i know cuz she took a few bites out of me).

Fungal infection, malachite green should fix it quickly
