I have a small black ghost knife (4”) that acts happy and healthy, eats frozen brine. Bloodworms , and pellets. Recently I’ve noticed that the end of its tail droops downwards slightly. What could be the cause of this and is it a concern? Thanks in advance for any advice.

The tank is fully planted as well as runs a large canister filter so oxygen shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll cut feeding for a few days and see if it helps. Thanks!

Don’t think it’s of concern. Seen a few with tails likely that.

It sounds normal to me I would be concerned if the BGK stopped eating. I personally had a BGK that size and it's tail always had a slight droop when it swam.
