Is there anything else in the tank with him Lauren? Looks like something has been biting pieces from his tail.
Have you checked temp & condition - water, ph., etc?
He's alone and the tank is cycled. The bite-mark was there when he arrived the week before last. He was in a large tank with all his siblings at the supplier, so it was unavoidable. My leucistic (from the same large tank) arrived last week missing half his gills and a leg! So I guess my wildtype was one of the top-dogs in that little pond.
Cynthia - He's fine now. I should have clarified in the original post that he ended up like that after a botched landing. His tail fell down over the course of an hour until he was level again.
