Fin Issue or Not

[tspors]

My Yellow seems to have done something. Check his fin please, he did not want to hold still so photo a bit blurry, but you will get the idea. He is eating, sleeping, swimming and interacting normal. Some thoughts on the fin?

Thanks
Tom

Could be the beginnings of hlle. Hard to tell as the picture is blurry. Hopefully it is not but a balanced diet can fix it

What else is in your tank? Could be getting picked on as well

Could be ich
Could be lateral line
Hard to tell from the pic Do you see it anywhere else on the fish ??
Do you have a qt ?

In the tank with him, Blue tang, 2 percula, wrasse, goby, blenny, pincushin, black urchin (soon to be out). He is not in QT. I do not believe it is ich, he is very rich in color other that this area. It has been about a week he is showing no signs of weekness or distress. I think it is an injury but thought I would post.

are we looking at the very small missing bit of fin at the top, or not?

 

[tspors]

yes and some minor thining of the fin.

oh-right ok, tbh, its bearly noticable, i thought is looked like nothing to worry about, but now you mentioned the thinning i see what you mean, not sure if there is a problem or not

 

[tspors]

My thoughts have been he may have tangled with the Black Urchin or someone. Not convinced I am dealing with a disease.

 

[Michael]

my immediate reaction is its not a problem, unusual but dosent look a worry to me, if your overly concerned then a bit of time in QT may be worth doing, however doesnt seem a worry, perhaps someone else will chip in, but i wouldnt worry about it yet, just keep an eye on him

Might want to try soaking some nori with garlic and see if that speeds healing up. It wont hurt to try.
