    Hi All,

    Tonight I noticed that my royal gramma's tail fin in shredded and looks like it has some fungus on it. I'm thinking the shredding is a result of a fight (he is a bit feisty when he's hungry) and that it got infected.

    What should I do? Thanks!!

    i would say just watch him because the tail will grow back eventually... Just make sure that he can get over the fungus.

    If he cant get over the fungus then your going to have to qt and treat :/

    I'm hoping it's not fungus, and that I'm just being paranoid....I haven't looked at him yet today. I'm scared! lol. Practically his whole tail is gone. Poor lil' guy.

    He's my fav - he better heal up for me!
