Current Problem -
The current problem you are concerned about. Sometimes I notice these random black streaks on his tail. They are not parasites or fungus, just randomly he shows 2 black streaks just on his tail, sometimes along his ribs as well. They disappear so I am assuming it;s just his coloring coming in but Idk lol, anyone else had this?. No pics b/c it's past lights out but I can get some if needed.
