nblaise Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I have had this orange fancy tail for a year at this point. He’s always had a raggedy tail, even when it was just him and females. The past three months; he’s been living in a fraternity of 6 guppies and 3 endlers. Last weekend I introduced some Siamese algae eaters to the tank (without quarantine; bad, I know, save your breath), and then I started noticing these thin white hair-like strands coming off of his tail most extremely. There are some tiny ones on a couple of the others, noticed one on a dorsal fin, and one on my pink tuxedos tail, I’m sure it’s a growth and not rot. tested my water this morning and it was; pH: 7.4-7.6 ammonia: between 0 and .25 ppm nitrite: 0 ppm nitrate: 40 ppm https://imgur.com/gallery/bZGseaj Edited February 2, 2021 by nblaise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirsten Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I suspect anchor worms http://www.tetra-fish.com/learning-center/troubleshooting/fish-illnesses-how-to-spot-them.aspx Not sure if paracleanse works on them, but treatment sounds pretty intense one way or another http://freshwater-aquarium-passion.blogspot.com/2010/11/treatment-for-anchor-worms.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
