It's something I just noticed last night but it almost looks as if there's a milky like film on the lower edges of my Black Moor's caudal fins. I don't recall seeing it before and I'm having a bit of difficulty getting a picture of it. It doesn't look like any kind of growth or fungus, it just looks slightly greyish to white, where it should be very obviously a velvet black. I've got one fantail that looks like he might have white on his fin but it's really hard to tell because he's a splotchy colored fish and half of his body is splotchy white anyway. None of my fish show any signs of distress. They all eagerly eat, swim, come up to my hand when it's feeding time... Aside from the discoloration I haven't noticed anything amiss.
My tank is a 46 Gallon with an Aqua Clear 70. I did a 16 gallon water change yesterday and after testing the water today my results were as follows: Nitrite 0, Ammonia 0, Nitrate 10. The temperature is kept at 76 and his current tankmates are an 11 inch pleco, two 1 inch balloon mollies and two 1 to 1 1/2 inch fantail goldfish.
I should note that the mollies were added about a week and a half ago after my brother's failed attempt to give his betta tankmates. The mollies have an adoptive home waiting on them, but everyone in the family has been sick and they just haven't been moved yet. Now that I'm noticing a bit of white on my goldfish's fins I'm not sure if I should pass them along or if I should wait and see what happens. (I'd hate to pass on sick fish.) Neither molly looks to be afflicted with anything however.
I'll try again in another hour or so to get a picture but my fish won't stay still. They get excited when they see me and their fins just sort of whip around everywhere.
