Woke Up With My Phantom Tetra's Tail Nipped

[n3ont3tra]

What do I do? Stocking in siggy. I'm pretty sure it was the silver tips, but this would be the first sign of agression I've seen from them. The phantom that got nipped was a female, btw, if that makes a difference... Sorry, can't get a good pic. The whole top part of it's tail is gone and the bottom part is frayed. It's swimming around like normal though. I've had the fish since mid september.

ok I'll answer your post, not that anyone is doing the same for mine further down.....

I had this same problem with my male guppy. Read some of the replies to the post I made bout it.

So bottom line from it is, you need to remove the problem fish, one you can find it, and then keep the water clean and free of chlorine and it should heal up well enough. I would also make sure that she gets plenty to eat, and maybe some livefood perhaps?


Hope that helps

Add melafix good for healing wounds.
Keep an eye on her if the fish carry on nipping you will have to rehome them.
