Guest amesters Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Ever since I got my little Pooki I noticed his tail wasn't split down the middle like Toki's. here's a picture of his bum! of course i still love him anyways! but is this normal? Toki's tail is split almost all the way down the middle... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member OldHag Posted July 24, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2008 That is a beautiful fish! I get fry with a huge variation of tails, so I guess that is genetic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Quasi Posted July 24, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) You could say that it is a little genetic harmless mistake that happens from time to time. Just genetics, nothing to worry about One of my fish (the one in the avatar) her tail isn't split all the way and she is super cute Edited July 24, 2008 by Quasi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member lynda441 Posted July 24, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2008 Blue, my blue oranda only has one big anal fin straight down the center instead of two small ones on each side. So, sometimes quirky genetic things occur, but it's nothing to worry about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kayla's Goldfish Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I don't think its normal but I dont see how any harm can come from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member br553 Posted July 24, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2008 The oranda in my sig, Fred Sr., was like that. His tailfin was joined along the top, and he had only one anal fin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
