Re: Discus fin rot or something else?

Before jumping to equipment, try a round of salt. A tablespoon per 5 gallons can help with mild fin issues. Just don't use it long-term with Rams—they're sensitive to salt.

Re: Discus fin rot or something else?

Agree with Limey on the bacterial angle. If it's fin rot, you'll see progressive deterioration. If it's static or improving with cleaner water, it's likely physical damage. Monitor for a few days before jumping to meds.
