My Guppy's tail has a split

[DenisVarghese]

I have 2 guppies in a 6.6Gal (25Ltr) Fluval Chi Tank with a live plant.

My tank is 3-4 months old, and I've had some teething problems in the beginning but it has been going smooth for the last couple of months.

I feed the fish 2-3 different type/variants of food every alternate days and both guppies feed well. both swim around on their own and I have never seen them being aggressive to each other

I change 20-25% water every week


Today I noticed that one of the fan tail guppies has a split in the lower end of the tail.. There are no bits missing but a tear .It doesn't seem like tail rot, there is just a split in the tail.

What could have caused the tail to split?

Any ideas if this is bad for my fish

Is this normal

Does my fish help need any help

Any help/comments/expert opinions will be greatly appreciated..



Regards
Denis

My goldfish get this every now and then. If it does not turn white with infection or even fade much in color it will heal. Just keep an eye on it for any sighs of secondary infection, and keep up the water changes.

Thankyou KcMopar
Wil keep an eye for discolourationor infection.. hope it fuses back together

It will grow out rather then fusing together. Split fins will happen and will be common for the most part. Just be sure to watch for a secondary infection. Also when they have split fins do extra amounts or more frequent water changes.
