Here are more pics of Lincoln, I just added them so you guys can see him better.

I can see the photos you just posted.

I'll answer your questions:

My tank wasn't cycled before I put Lincoln in, I know that was wrong. I've been doing daily water changes and testing the water since Saturday to keep everything in check. I've got the API ammonia test and it's always been 0ppm. I ...

I can see the pics when I look at the post. Can you see the ones I just posted?

Hi there and welcome.

First off, just saying your water parameters are fine doesn't give us much to go on - we need actual numbers. Those test strips you're using aren't the most reliable either, I'd recommend switching to a liquid test kit for more accurate readings.

I've already ...

I've just ordered the API test kit, which includes all the liquid tests, so I'll be able to post more accurate readings once I get it. Glad to hear it's not fin rot, but what's the next step to help him ...

I've had my fin_tank Lincoln for two weeks now, got him two weeks ago today. I upgraded him from a 1.3 gallon to a 5 gallon heated and filtered tank last Sunday. Lately I noticed his fin's looking pretty beat up, so I swapped out his plastic plants for silk ones and removed his decorations - thought ...

I think the fin rot might be caused by something in the tank. Daily water changes can stress him out, and if there's a decoration ripping his fins, that could be the culprit. Even though you've got fabric plants, are there any plastic parts on them that could be causing the issue? How much water ...
