Hi I noticed something wrong with my danio, on his/her tail fin thers a little cut or tear is there anyway I can help it?

Sorry for the rubbish pic it very hard to take a pic of.

Are there any other danios in the tank? What other fish in there? You should move him, those torn fins are wide open for a disease to sneak in and get him. Move him to a QT if you can.

Whats a QT?
Sorry I ain't quite picked up the abbreviations yet

Did you test your water parameters yet?

Most likely it is being nipped by the other danio or one of your livebearers. Danios need to be kept in a school of six or more, and if you don't provide them with that the more prone they are to nip one another or be nipped themselves, especially if it is a small tank. How big is the tank?

QT stands for quarantine tank, it's for fish you want to quarantine before you put them into the main tank or for sick fish.

I've had him for around 9-10 months he's been fine up an till now.
My tank is 10-11 UK gallons.
