I'm looking for advice.
I have a cycled 182L tank and rescued 2 fancy goldfish from a friend. They were in a tiny tank then got put into a pond.
Fish have been in a week and a half now, no issues. There was a bullying issue when previous owners had them but no signs since having them here.
Water quality is fine.
I have been doing a 20L water change mid week and a 50% water change at the weekend as I like the tank looking nice.
Smaller of the 2 fish got injured before it came to me when it got stuck in a ornament and lost a few scales on one side and the tail looked to be scratched.
I have just got in and was preparing to do a water change and clean the glass and I've noticed its tail is torn and it appears to be missing scales on the same side as the split tail.
The other side of its tail appears to have a blood streak in it.
(The pic of the side of the non torn tail is the previous damage to the scales)
I'm gutted, I've gone to so much trying to get them a perfect home with a large tank and good quality water and now this happens.
Can someone please advise if this is a bullying issue or is fin rot?
