White spot developing on the Tail Fin of BNP

Post by scolba »

Hey Folks,

So I noticed in the last week or so a white spot developing on the tip of my BNP. It was sold to me as a "Green Dragon Ancistrus". Looking at the pic again, it almost looks like there is one developing on the tip of the dorsal fin, too.

Is this something I need to be concerned about?

Thanks!

This just appears to be the normal color of the strain. The white fin tips of the common strain generally carry into the green dragon and albino lines. I had never really given any thought to it prior to this, but don't think I've ever seen a healthy fish from one of these strains which didn't have them.
Impossible only means that somebody hasn't done it correctly yet.
