Disease VS bullying

[tlook31]

Hey guys,
I’m new to this and hyper paranoid about bringing disease into my tank. In the process of getting a QT started. I picked up this Cardinal almost a week ago and I’ve noticed a couple of his fins look disfigured yesterday and were not like that when I brought him home. I’m having a hard time telling if this is disease or bullying from my 6 lined wrasse. I haven’t witnessed any bullying and he eats good but isolates to the back corner of the tank.

I’d appreciate any input. I know the pics suck but the best I could do.

I read the post until you mentioned the 6 line wrasse. Try feeding more often, reducing light periods to see if you can get the bullying to stop.

Add more hiding spots, change the rock position, anything else that keeps the wrasse from setting up a place to defend.

6 line should have been one of the last fish added not first.
