Will he grow out of this or keep this dark tail forever?All the other baby bass are normal looking.

i've no idea wats going on wit that lil guy, but have you seen one of johnptc's big mono, one of them is like half black face ... probably a mutation, but not harmful ...

btw, u got me wondering what that fish on the left with gigantic eyes is... ...

no he is fine its just my sucky camera skills and direct sunlight messing with it.

the big eye belongs to a bala shark.

if it isnt a sickness,its just a color mutation.
he might or might not grow out of it.

This is what I'm thinking as well. Looks like one of his tank mates may have tried to swallow him whole from behind

i dont think it'd survive with an injury like that,if it was in fact an injury.

 

[StripeGirl]

no he is the same size as all the other grow outs.He is a happy little black tailed mutant:}
