Question
My fish has somehow lost part of its back fins, do you know what i might be able to do, if anything, to help it seeming how it can only swim upsidedown now.  If you can help in anyway I would be very greatful. Thank you  

Answer
Hi Sara;

Sounds like he has been picked on. You might want to isolate him to a hospital tank and treat him with Melafix until I can get back to you after I get more info.

What other kinds of fish do you have?
What size tank and how long has it been set up?

Followups welcome
