I'd like some feedback on a plan of attack concerning a fish we just bought. We were at a store today and picked up a Synodontis Angelica which looks like he is on deaths door. Fins(caudal, dorsal and pelvic) are mostly missing, barbels are very short, and his belly is very sunken. We setup a new 10 gallon tank with aged water from another tank, installed an AC70 with foam and bio-rings for filtration, as well as added a heater to keep the tank @ ~77 degrees F. I dosed the tank with 1 TBSP salt and thought about adding an anti-fungal, but have held off on that line of treatment.
Anything I missed? We'd really like to get this guy back in a great condition. We dropped in a couple shrimp pellets, as well as a piece of Repashy Spawn & Grow which should help out his nourishment problems. We're keeping the tank dark to get him settled in and as stress-free as possible.
His fin damage was most likely caused by his tank mates at the store.
Thanks;
