nieve5552 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hi I just saw that one of my cherry barb female's tail tips have turned white. Seems to happened quite recently (within 24 hours at most) as I spend quite a bit of time staring into my fishtank :love: and they all looked normal earlier today before I went to work Its just one of the females, and just the tips of the tail fins that are white. I recently added 6 Axelrod's rasboras (last Wednesday) and checked for ammonia and nitrite on Friday and got almost 0.6 ammonia (I have nutrafin ammonia test kit, and no colour development is 0.. The test was just very slightly about to develop colour which would suggest 0.1~ 0.6) and 0 nitrite readings. Did a 40% water change on Saturday (yesterday) Although the water parameters should be fine I will be checking it again tomorrow.. Could this be a start of a fin rot? All fish are eating fine and acting normal I've tried googling for female cherry barb tail tips turning white but nothing came up Any thoughts or advise would really be appreciated thank you! Tank size: approx 56 L (60 x 30 x 30cm) Temperature: 27-28C Moderately planted with black silica gravel. Some bogwood and small amount of indian almond leaf in a teabag. Filter: Tetra Whisper power filter Food: small amount of Tetracolor flakes 2-3 times a day and some frozen bloodworm once every 2 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
