Fin rot?

[Lclark88]

Got a swordtail about 2 weeks ago and I noticed today that her tail is see through. I don't know what fin rot looks like. Please help.

There are lots of pics on the net. Try to Google "swordtail fin rot" and then click on the images link. That should set you up with lots of visuals.

Yeah, looking at some images would be good like Dale said. In general, fin rot makes fins look ragged and torn, and there is a white edge along the affected fins.

I looked at some and it doesn't look ragged just the color is going away.

That could be from stress. Maybe the fish is just stressed from being in a new environment. Keep an eye on it for now. Thats my best advice. Let us know if anything changes.
