When breeding guppies, one of the problems that may arise is that its tail is fading and becoming transparent. First of all, we need to understand the causes of this phenomenon, and then we can prescribe the right medicine. The most likely reason is that guppies have "rotten tail disease", which is also the most important reason to pay attention to and need timely treatment. Second, if the newly bought fish have faded tails, it may be that they have not adapted to the new water environment.
Third, it may also be caused by the guppy being frightened. If there is a loud sound or light when changing the water or watching, it may cause the tail to fade or become transparent. In the second or third case, no special measures need to be taken to ensure that the environment in the fish tank is suitable, and the state of the tail can slowly return to normal. Finally, it may be caused by the age of the guppy, and the tail of the old guppy may fade, which is a normal phenomenon.
Among the above reasons, if the first reason is that the guppy has "rotten tail disease", it needs to be treated in time, and do not wait until the symptoms are very serious. Generally speaking, if the symptoms are mild and not obvious, they can be treated by changing water and disinfecting with salt. If this happens to multiple fish, they need to be fished out and treated with yellow powder or potassium permanganate, which is more effective.
