Question: Blaze

[pringles697]

I've checked the water, everything is fine. It's a 55 gallon with 2 females, and one male. My white ax usually has dark red gills, and they're turning a gross gray-red color. He's also going kind of pale. Last week I did notice that part of his tail has been damaged. The tip was (probably) bitten off. I'm trying to attach pictures.

My phone will not let me attach pictures. Does anyone know what it could be?

Upload the pictures to photobucket and then attach them. I believe photobucket is the only image hosting website that the forum accepts.

The damage to the tail could be prone to a fungal infection, but otherwise I wouldn't think it would have any effect on his gills. A picture would be hugely helpful to diagnose the problem. How are the other axies? And could you post tank parameters? Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, pH?

Tried Photobucket, still can't upload. I'm frustrated!

The other 2 are good. He's still eating like a pig, and acting normally.
