Fish tail turning clear?

I have a 2 inch gourami and his tail is turning clear and he looks sick, none of his fin is missing, his whole body is not missing anything. Now a small spot around his eye is turning white. None of my other fish have this just the gourami, i recently for some unknown reason lost my 2 other red gourami and dont know why. I have two big white gouramis that are doing great. Any ideas. Water levels are all awesome, its a 55 gallon tank with heater, dual filter with media in it.Fish tail turning clear?
it's definately not ick





what it sounds like is case of finrot or also called tail rot


which will make the fins starting to turn white on the edges, and as it progresses it will make the fins look raged





I would recommend using maracyn TC for at least 10 days, do a partial waterchange of 50% before starting treatment with a gravelsiphon, and don't forget to put conditioner in the new water


do partial waterchanges of 25% every 3 days, and dont' forget to take out the carbon filter


once treatment is done, do another 50% partial waterchange, and keep doing regular 25% partials every week


Finrot is usually caused by bad waterconditions











Hope that helps


good luck
