damn this sucks..

i just bought a pair of apisto norberti at midway pets and when i brought it home i realized one of the fins was missing. it was swimming sideways and stuff. should've checked it more carefully

ouch that sucks, maybe you can bring it back to health!

a mutie or damage that may grow back?

its the pectoral fin.its there but its not moving. is this fixable? melafix maybe

id say time is the best medicine, that and good water. if your water is fine it should heal up in a month or so, adding chemicals usualy stresses out fish, let nature do its job

Probably just a case of fin clamp

called them earlier and they said i can return it. i also think they gave me 2 males instead of one of each. did some research online about em doesn't even show much. anybody knows the difference? looks exactly the same just one is a little bigger

At least you can return him. Did you want a male and a female?

yea the sign said a pair for $16. i got the exchange but i seen like 2 other fish with a messed up pectoral fin.
the guy told me it could be the males fin nipping.
