Re: fin rot

The "symptoms" you described sound like classic physiological signs of an
ammonia problem.  However, with the amount of water changes you are doing
that should not be the case.  You did not metion the type of water
conditioner you are using.  I have had excellent results with Amquel and
Novaqua although others on the list have " dissed" them.  Your water
probably is treated with chloramine, a heavy form of ammonium and chlorine,
and your current water treatment may not be neutralizing the chloramine.
Check ammonia levels in your tap and tank.  Hope this helps.
