Do you have pics of the tail? What are your water parameters? Was the tail injured before?

 

[fishkeeper25]

no i dont have pics of the tale since its a small fish less than an inch and its a it small white dot on the tail and my camera really isnt good.my water paremeter are all good i even did a 50 %water change,and no the tail wasnt injured before i even noticed y other fish getting it to

This isn't fungal infection. It's bacterial infection. I would suggest Maracyn treatment although fry tend to be more sensitive than the juveniles and adults so treat with caution.

Ahh good. Do daily water changes for now until the patch is gone.
