We were in the descent into ZZZ on the arrival.  Once we reached 13;000 feet we began to encounter moderate chop.  I then noticed we had a fuel crossflow inhibit status message on ED-2.  After seeing that message I noticed the fuel imbalance.  There was 2;000 lbs in the left tank and 1;600 lbs in the right tank.  As Captain; I then began to search a QRH procedure for the imbalance.  As I opened the QRH; the right fuel gauge and total fuel gauge showed amber.  After the loss of the gauges; the left tank began to rise.  The First Officer and I could not determine whether or not fuel was transferring or just burning from the right tank.  Because of this we elected to advise ATC and land as soon as possible.  The gauges did return on short final with a balanced fuel load.
CRJ-200 Captain reported a fuel imbalance on approach; causing a precautionary landing.
