Insect Direct Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Just noticed 1 of my whiptails has lost the end of its tail (appears to be rotting?) In a tank with a group of whips and babies, all seem fine they breed without trouble but then i find this guy, any tips?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firenzenz Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I would quarantine and medicate, start with melafix perhaps. It could it be a result of a fight during or around breeding. How are your water parameters? might need to test it as well, looking for nitrite/nitrate spikes. It's probably not contagious but would definitely pay to isolate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 kool cheers, dunno about water parameters i dnt beleave in tests lol, never had a problem everything breeds so not complaining! Probably lack of water changes & inconsistant feeding as ive been slack as ova the past few months hence why im surprised everythings still breedn, Ill see if i can chuck it in a tank of its own, i just thought it maybe a common problem!!
