No one else with an opinion or experience?

1 of my remaining False Julii has her dorsal fin laying flat most of the time ... not sure if I have another sick fish.

I do have a guppy with a split tail - it has been split for about a month but the fish seems otherwise fine.

I am still doing 10-20 ...

Hello Everyone

I have sand in 1/4 of the tank where a cave is, the rest is a regular aquarium gravel. The pale fish is always by herself in the cave on the sand. The other 3 are under a bridge on the gravel.
