Guppy Tail Colour Loss?

[Cantbesaved]

ummm JUST noticed this today... is this an issue, or will he be OK? I noticed a section of my guppy's tail is white/yellow. Seems happy, ammonia and nitrite at 0, nitrate at 5ppm as of 4 hours ago. Please have a peak, and let me know. thanks!

He had little white spots before, but this seemed to happen overnight.

Just looks like its cos of the light, if you look on the others tails, you can see that type of colour on thiers as well.

no no, this looks like brownish. When I look into the tank, it really looks weird. and none of them had this before. Definately not from the lighting. Looks like when a plant dies, it goes browny... He doesn't seem any different, and swims just fine...

Here is a pic of the same guppy yesterday, in about the same position in the tank too. No spot on his tail.

Haa i can see now, im sorry but this i have never come acrss, someone else will have to help on this matter..

In the meantime, just do a waterchange, at least its a start.

Well, checked him out when I got home today. he is losing chunks of his tail, only where it is white. it has not spread, so I don't know what is wrong... I did a water change, and put some of the stress coat stuff on, that protects fins, helps heal, and stuff... maybe it will help.

You should really treat it with myxazin, or interpet no8 anti fungus and finrot conrtol.

LOL
The reason I asked was exactly that, indeed they are all males. Guppies belong to the order Cyprinodontiformes which includes rivulines, killifishes and live bearers.
Closely related to toothcarps. Guppies have teeth. Male guppies are notorious for fin nipping, especially anything that has long finnage and certainly if they are fending off other males to be with a certain female. Hence why I'm trying to assertain the root cause. (fin nipping/secondary infection)
Water stats also come into play if the fish have not been aclimatised correctly it may be stressed, again leaving the door open for secondry infectoion.

That is correct, all males.

At the top of my OP I put water stats. I will try that finrot stuff tomorrow. Stores closed now Hope he makes it that long! Thanks
