I realized the female had a deformed tail. Its a small defect. I got nervous because it reminded me of diseases that leave minnows with curves in the spin. Being that it was in the tail and a show fish, I think most likely its due to being in a small container a lot of the time. I know any disease that effects the fish spine can't really be cleaned. I was wondering if this fish is known for tail defects or if show fish are known for tail defects due small spaces?

I am having a problem with my A. australe BSWG-97/24, I have 8 in a moderatly planted 20 gallon standard tank, water temp 74 dgF, 100 tds (controlled), ph 8.2.  From day one I've been having a problem with very black patches on the fish, doesn't seem to bother them very much, however, it does look quite bad.  begins at the mouth goes across the top of the head back to just beyond the gills.  Rarely is it seen on the back half of the fish.  I've tried the standard treatments for "velvet" to no avail...  any help or direction is appreciated.  I'll attempt to photograph and submit a photo too...   thanks sincerely JP Langan]]> Killifish Diseases James Langan https://aka.org/community/killifish-diseases/a-australe-disease-problem/
