Comet tails
long finnage is susceptible to colder temps.... and parasites. you might want to add
some salt to the water. spring is hard on fish, lots of cooties wake up before the immune systems of the fish does. that being said, my koi are heated most of the winter but they show up with white dots, etc. that goes away as the water warms. other than salt, I add nothing to the water and they been good. Ingrid "humBill" wrote: Hi all Here in Austin we have had a particularly mild winter. Nonetheless the fish have not be active and I have not been feeding them for about three months. They have pretty much been out of sight hunkering down under a bunch of anacharis I have been letting grow, as possible protecting from an occasional Heron visit. Now that I have begun feeding again and they are out and active I am noticing a problem. Some tails on the comets who have the longest tails seems to be splitting somewhat. My first thought is fin rot, but I don't see any loss yet and the water parameters are perfect. It is only the ones with very long, flowing finnage. While not as extreme it is vaguely reminiscent of how a flag sometimes shreds on the back end from whipping in the wind, except the splits are not as numerous and are longer (1"-1 1/2"). Any thoughts on what may be causing this? Is it a concern? What remedies might I try. I thought about adding some Mela Fix but I don't want to waste money needlessly.
