TheSwissAquarist Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Maybe salt treatment? @Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 looks to be a tear. if you see white fungussy edges along the tear, then you have some rot and should treat. large guppy tails are just fragile things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I agree with @lefty o Iooks like a tear would keep an eye on it if you notice the fins start to recede than I would quarantine and treat with Aquarium salt 1 table for 2 gallons and Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flumpweesel Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Best thing you can do is keep that water super clean and help them heal. We don't have the meds that our friends in the USA have and at this stage I would just add an extra partial water change in and see how they do. If you notice the tails turning white give me a nudge and I'll let you know which meds I use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
