		I've put the tetra in quarantine, and added melafix and pimafix, as I didn't know what the problem was for sure and figured this would at least help with the fins.
		Provide a well balanced diet for the cardinal (which you are) and make sure you keep up on water changes.
		But given tetras can be fairly delicate, if those two medications will do, I'm inclined to use them in lieu of other meds.
