Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello,
I'm pretty new to keeping fish so apologies! I have a 60l tank which was not cycled (I took advice from a pet shop and only discovered about cycling later, I added fish a week after running the tank with bacteria and treatment!) but it has been going strong for a month now. I have 4 guppies in my tank and have been doing 10-25% water changes daily or every 2 days since day 2 of them being in the tank (which is when I discovered about cycling).
My male guppy had a chunk missing out of his tail when I bought him, I was told this was because he had been picked on by other males and was nothing to worry about. He (and the rest of the gang) moves around a lot, eats well and seems happy to my inexperienced eye, yet today I have notice what looks like a rip in his skin by his tail, as pictures although you might need to zoom in to see it!
I really need some advice on what to so as I'm panicking - I never thought I'd care so much about fish but I'm very worried, plus my 3 year old would be devastated if anything happened to Captain Hook as he is her favourite!!
Thanks in advance!
