A conserning question

[Jerriel]

So if you know me then you know I have been struggling with my fish of late and have done everything I can to keep them alive, of the (roughly) 40 fry, 2 remain alive, of the 4 albino cory, all remain. My consern comes in with the 2 fry, all of my fry's that died had a deformed tail before death, instead of the normal guitar pic shape, they where triangular and had a very slim point. One of the fry that remains has had this tail but is still survivng, the other has a sqaure shaped tail.

I was wondering that if (hopefully) they survive, will their tails heal or can their tails heal, if their tails cant heal back to normal whag should I do, I dont want to risk putting medication in since they're so young, but Im still gonna keep working hard for their sake.

The tails aren't really deformed, they are just clamped so tight they look deformed. Needletail is often what it is referred to (I think). Not sure if I've mentioned this in another post you have but velvet may be the cause. I had a batch of betta fry get this "needle tail" and treated them with salt and tetra tablet medication (I think it was life guard). All the fry were moved into a 5gal and eventually the majority recovered after a week or so while those who did not were culled.

Thank you, this helps answer my consern.
