Weird horn thing growing on tail

[Kirzzin]

They are about 5 months old now, and my Lucifer had a strange bend in his tail and the other two don't. Today I noticed there was a horn looking thing growing out of it. Should I be alarmed?? Water temperature is always kept constant under 20 they are fed once a day with newt pellets and blood worms..

hard to get pictures of him, he's always on the go, especially during feeding time hahaha

I can't really see the growth on his tail too clearly but it kind of looks like his tail was damaged and it is a bit of his tail hanging off or healed oddly. Check your parameters for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and PH and ensure good water quaity. Is your tank cycled?

I believe this is a finger. Or at least a little finger-like growth where there has been a minor injury. It happens sometimes, nothing to worry about.

Thank you so much! That's what I told my boyfriend! It felt like a finger growing out. I feel relieved : ):happy::happy:

My 2 year old axie has one too, when I got him they lady hadn't kept him and his siblings separate so they had eaten parts off each other so I think it might be from him healing. I've always kind of liked it, a small imperfection like a mole. Nothing to be concerned about.
