Hi I have three 4 inch senegal bichirs in 30 gallon tank. 2 are albin and one is not. They are very peoceful fish since i've never seem them fighting. Today i noticed that my nonalbino bichir's tail had a clear tip on it. You can basicly see thruogh it. WhaT happened. Is it malnutrition. a tail growing back after being torn ( very unlikely for my senegals). Disease? Bad water conditions (doen't seen like fin rot to me). I'm wondering if the clear tip om the bichir's tail is just plainly a sigh that he is maturing. Ive heard and seen that when a nonalbino senegulas bichir get older, the body will become paler. Any opinions and answers for my question? Proffesin answers would be awesome!!

Thanks
