When i was looking in the tank, i noticed one of the small fish had stuff stuck to him, will it fall off? Mostly on his tail

what does the "stuff" look like

The pertinent question is why is the fish sticky - does it appear to be excess mucous?

I don't actually see anything wrong. if it's the clear part of the fin you're worried about I think the fins could be growing.

I can't see anything wrong, either. Those pale particles don't look like little salt bits, do they?

I was thinking as you can see that maybe because it's a yin-yang guppy that's just the clear parts of the fins gaining color.(colour)

Hmm the dots are the solid parts
Also good news! Some dots fell off after a day of swimming.
I should be more careful when grinding food

Maybe your fish are reaching their teenage years, and it's time to have that talk about the importance of showering every day...

One time my fish got "dots" on it but it was a few specks of pellets that had landed on him... Once he swam a bit they came right off... Its weird what can happen at times

Just a few more pellets to shake off!

I seriously cant see a thing on the fish when you show a picture... But im sure there is something on them, its just they cant show up on a photo
