any tankmates?

 

[beblondie]

can you post a picture of it? also is it the normal senegal or albino?

 

[Joshmac8]

ITs the normal senegal, his only tankmate right now is a florida gar and they show no signs of aggression at all toward each other. The tail looks like bloodstreaks in the tail/fin area.

If it gets worse or spreads to the rest of the body, it could be bacterial infection.

But, in the thin membrane of the tail fin, you can see blood vessels sometimes, so probably not out of the ordinary.
