Help me... The top of my gravid blushing white skirt tetra's tail is beginning to detach at the base and I don't know what to do! (A while ago the bottom part of her tail broke but it is nearly done repairing itself.) There is a blood spot where the tail is coming off. Could the current be too strong for her? Are my other fish hurting her... I don't see why or how because she's the biggest fish in the tank! Please helpImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1392300623.066397.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1392300867.289457.jpg
 
I don't really see what you mean. Do you have a before picture for reference?

Assuming your fish is having the issues you said then there's not much you can do other than provide clean water. It's a long shot that that's actually happening though.
 
What other fish are in the tank?


Sorry, I didn't see your comment earlier. There are 3 neon tetras, 3 guppies, and a clown pleco (and, of course, the blushing whiteskirt) in a 10 gallon tank.
