fish bowl
I took my fish home over the Christmas holiday and during the car ride (in a different, secure container), one of the plants or rocks* pinched his tail and it was torn by the time we got home. I felt SUPER bad but he didn't seem to notice much. Eventually, the piece fell off and then a bit more and a bit more... to where now his blue tail is getting shorter all the time. I looked up fin rot, and it looks like that might be what is happening. So yesterday I got some antibiotic stuff for his water and I swear it's working already. See the dark blue? That's new, that's healing! But now I can't remember how much different it was yesterday. So I am taking pictures to chronicle the change.
*in hindsight: don't transport fish with accessories in the bowl
