I was lucky enough to be able to buy two batches of these fish last week for a great price (last four of the adult batch that were at Aquajardin plus some privately owned specimens that came from same shop), to end up with a group of seven in my 5-footer. However, I don't know whether I need to be concerned about some redness at the top of the pectoral fins, as shown in this cat-elog photo...

Given this photo is in the PC archive, presumeably its absolutely normal and not some sort of infection, but I would love some reassurance all the same ;)

I have had a group for a few months now and can say that I'm pretty certain this is normal-at least I hope it is!

Mine all have the same redness and I believe they are in perfect health. - Frank
I used to be schizophrenic, but we're OK now. At least that's what my dog is always telling me!
