Danio missing tail

[Fishmaster1202]

Hi Everyone,
I have a tank of danios and I have looked at my tank today and one of my danios are missing a tail. And he is really struggling. The last danio I found dead was also missing a tail. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop this.

I will keep you updated on how he does.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Danios can nip another ones pretty good. Then it begins to recede. Put the disabled one in a QT tank and do 75% water changes each day for 2 weeks. Also add 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt for every 5 gallons of water the first day. After that add 3/4 tablespoon of aquarium salt each day after 75% water change. Be sure salt is dissolved first. The salt is an astringent and mild anti-fungal while the tail grows back.

It looks like a bacterial infection and the fish has something wrong with its gills too.
