I have a baby GG at 25cms.. his tail tips (top n bottom) are looking a tad funny.. should I be worried? i think its just discolouring.. who knows!

Looks like the beginning stages of tail rot.

Clean that water! I have no idea what else to tell you. I am sure somebody else can help more.

agreed, whats your water change schedule like? tank size? filtration? other tank mates?

260gal (1100 ltr) weekly w/c lives with 2 gibies.

I have a FX5 running with another on the way...

nothing in the tank, but I am going to buy some driftwood today...

Would a UV sterliser help with fungus?

I will do another w/c this afternoon as I need to go to work now!!!

​

I feed him a fair bit of peas, but he also eats alot of the "staple food" which is ment for the 2 gibbys..

Anyways the bets thing to do would have been a 25% water change and add some tonic salt, and moniter the fish.
