So over the past couple days after a neon was a victim to fin nipping I have noticed what either may be scar tissue or maybe a infection of some kind? Several neons were victims of fin nipping during the first 48hrs after stocking a new 29 gallon tank. The culprits were serpae tetras (red minor tetras) I do believe. Everyone including this neon seem to be acting normally with plenty of energy and eating just fine. I am hoping it to be just where his/her tail is reforming but figured I would ask to see what everyone thought it may be. I do have a 10 gallon to use as quarantine/hospital tank if needed.
Thank you for any help on this,
-James
