Guppy tail fin ripped

Hi all,

I'm a bit concerned about one of my guppies. His tail fin is ripped and giggly missing. All the others are fine and he's swimming about in his group and eating well. I've just noticed one of my silver dollars has a slightly ripped tail fin but is ok too. Do you think he's ok. I wondered if he has been picked on but he is still in his little school of four guppies. None of my other fish have the problem. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Might be just in tank squabbles. I'd try just keeping up the water changes and see if it heals.

Cheers for this. One of the little guys doesn't have much tail left

Can you separate him for a bit in a net or breeding tank?

If you can separate him that would be best. Try to keep your tank waster as clean as possible PWC every few days. Clean water goes a long way in helping.
