Hi
Just a quick one.
I have a newly cycled tank (8 weeks in) to which I have added 3 white cloud mountain minnows.
Today I did a partial water change and used the gravel vacuum to get rid of the bits and pieces as you do. The Minnows are always very inquisitive when I do anything in the tank and the smallest of the 3 was suckkered up into the bucket today - he shot round the bottom and wooshed up the tube before i cound get the attachment out of the tank.
When I put him back in I notices that one of the points on his tail fin is cleanly 'sliced' off. There is no ragged edge, no sign of fungus, white spot or loss of colour on the tail fin, just the he bottom point is missing > (tried adding the grter than sign so you get my drift!)
He is swimming about with no problems at all, is playing with the others and mooching about the tank as normal.
So my question is whether I need to put in anything to assist with his healing / regrowth or anything I need to add to preent him getting an infection?
I have an aqarium tonic and aquarium salt to hand but need advice on whether I should be doing anything else.
Stats for the water are Ph 7.2, Ammonia 0, Nitite 0 and Nitrate 10.
Many Thanks
Jo

you have no idea how many of my different fry have suddenly found themself travelling amazingly fast only to be deposited in a swirling tub of water...
