Christhefishman Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Hey guys, wondering if anyone might have an idea what’s going on with the tail fin of one of my young Congo tetras. Appeared randomly about a week prior to me posting this and seems to slowly be getting larger. Not sure if treatment is needed or if it will go away on its own since I haven’t encountered something exactly like this before. Fish swims, eats, and acts completely normal. planted tank with no signs of illness on any other fish. 0 ammonia,0 nitrite, 20 ppm nitrate for plants, PH 7.6, moderately hard, temp is 79 thanks everyone!

Colu Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 It could be a cyst or an injury to the tail fin that has caused localized inflammation what I suggest is quarantine and treat with aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons for a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping you’d see this post! I’m happy that it’s atleast looking like inflammation from a minor injury and not some kind of parasite or start of a bad infection. I’m off to grab some more aquarium salt. Appreciate it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
