Hello everyone I was hoping I could get some answers to why my cardinal lost his tail fin.
I have 3 of these guys in QT and have been in there for a week now, when I got them from lfs last week they were the only ones they had and all by themselves in there aquarium so I bought them all due to the schooling aspect. When I bought them home I observed them carefully and this one had its fin and today I noticed it totally gone. I don’t suspect it’s diseased but I could be wrong, I don’t see any evidence of anything by my observations and was thinking that this one particular fish is being bullied possibly? I do see him usually away from the other 2 and I do see him being chased every now and then, just a quick dive toward him type thing and that’s about it.
Would someone know if it’s diseased or being eaten possibly, also will this fin grow back?
Thank you kindly and hope your having a wonderful day!!
