One of the plecos in a mixed Africans tank (yellow lab, red jewel, boryeli, blue peacock) has a ragged tail. It looks like shredded, split or frayed, instead of the usual lyretail sail look.
None of its fins or anything else look unusual, and it actually looks good overall, seems healthy, active, etc.
It has thrived in the tank for over a year, and the community has been constant for quite a while, with no new fish added. No other problems with any of the fish.
What do you think? Should I just watch it for a while, put something like Melafix into the tank, or should I put it in a hospital tank for more serious treatment?
Thanks.
