i noticed today my largest tat has a white snout is this some sort of injury and if so how do i treat it i already put a tiny amount of aquarium salt to help prevent stress and ich but wat should i do to cure this if it is bad?
 
Make sure that it is not being chased or spooked as it sounds as if it might have bumped into the invisible wall after a quick dash.
 
Very good,sounds like he's back on track.
 
Your tat may rub its nose to the bottom of the tank, which is normally do by those skittish characin. Some salt and clean water will heal it. A thin layer of gravel to cover the bare bottom will help to prevent it to happen again.
