Hi Dunc,
This has been ongoing for a while,i have been treating in the net with firstly Tamodine and then a pp paste but neither seem to be working.
The area is slightly red still,i have been advised to sedate,trim off the ends after cleaning and seal.
I am not very happy with doing the trimming part,on reading some of your articles hydrogen peroxide [ h202 ] may be used to clean fins and mouths.
I have some h202 3% can this be used and do i sedate and do i seal the edge of the pec fin afterwards?
Sorry for all the questions but i am a bit nervous with the trimming of the fin.
