Hey everyone.... My male fancy guppy I just realized has a split in his tail. He always has had a big fan-shaped tail, and now part of it split. Is this caused by something? Or is there something I can do to fix it? He's in a 5g tank with two other males. They will chase each other a little, but don't get aggressive and all of the water parameters are normal. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
keep the water clean. the fin will most likely heal itself.
 
If it's just a split (and not a chunk missing), he may have got it caught on something and split it. You should see it heal in no time as long as your water is kept clean. Just watch for any signs that it is getting worse - then it could be something more.
