SanSuprimo Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hey, I noticed tonight that one of my VT males has split tail and i was just wondering if i just leave him or if i should put some melafix in the water or is there something else that would help him? Also what causes the tails to split? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother bear Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 G.day Jess melafix can't hurt it will help as far as why it's hard to say what caused it, is he in a tank by himself or a community tank or do you have plastic plants in his tank they can be bad for the fins you should have silk or even better live plants someone else may have a better idea BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2jdaze Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 he may have torn his fins on something inside the tank... either that or he's been flaring at something and taken a chew of his tail and not let go. or he may just be a chewer... just add some melafix and maybe a little salt to the water. it'll heal in time.

Ned Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 aquarium salt that is lol... or pure sea salt. malafix wont be a problem, just make sure you continue the full course. alot of these guys split their fins, could be like the others wrote, flaring at something, chewing, plastics or sharps in the tank.
