Swordlesstail

[tetraman]

My swordtail got part of his sword nipped off a few days ago. Is he going to be all right?

hi,
keep an eye on that part of his tail, look out for any signs of fin rot ect, it shoud grow back it time, as long as he dont get bitten again. donna .

I think you need to figure out what happened to the swordtail, and act accordingly. If you have something aggressive and/or nippy, then you may need to change your stock a bit. Various tetras (e.g. serpaes, black widows) are terrible fin-nippers, for example.

Cheers,

He died. It apparently was a bacterial infection since there wasn't any fungus. The female was rather cruel to him and was much bigger, so I'm assuming it was her.

Oh my god! If one more person mentions that I'm going to shoot myself! It was given to me by a friend, bullied my other fish, and I have no other place to put it except the toilet.

Oh right ok...well you have got to rehome it anyway but i presume you know that . If i were you i'd change my sig to say thats its just temporary .
