I just bought what was labeled as a ryukin (he looks more like a fantail to me, but it's hard to be sure since he's small). He's missing about 80-90% of his dorsal (the bit that is still there is towards the back). I put him in a 10 gallon quarantine tank (unfortunately uncycled) and treated the water and added aquarium salt. I'm doubtful that it's fin-rot, since the rest of his fins appear short and round, but fairly intact. He's in good spirits and was behaving normally in the store.
So here's the dillema: I will be gone for 3 nights and will be worrying about him the entire time. Any tips for helping him recover/keep him comfortable while I'm gone, would be greatly appreciated!! I know my timing was bad, but he was watching me in the store and all I could think of was how bad his chances were going to be if I left him there.
