Thereâs a little spot on her bottom fin thatâs kinda white that iâm a bit concerned about, i didnât see it yesterday so maybe she caught herself on something? iâm not sure what it would be since everything in the tank is smoothđđ unless she ripped it on like an anubia root or smth. iâll attach another photo and circle the area! i also have kanaplex ready to dose if necessary

Could be coloration, could be ich. I’m no expert but I say just keep monitoring and if it spreads then treat for ich.

Pretty hard to tell from the vid/pic but if youâre worried you can do some salt dips(minute or two at a time tops) and water changes(10% daily) and see if it goes away. Raising the temperature to 78-80 degrees might help too if it is an infection, your buddy looks healthy and active otherwise.
