Hey all,

I have a white swan, who is stunded due to a smaller tank and bad worm infestation much earlier in life. She has been in my 6x2x2.5 deep for months and months now, along with the other 10 discus. All is happy and healthy, dark poo, eating well, brave, not dark, fins up and spead out looking really good, no rot etc. as with all the fish, but her fins for a time now have had a thin red rim around the base (next to the body) with no other symptoms at all on her or any other fish, Im not sure whether I should be worrying about this?????????
temp 28/29 semi planted (working on it)
Ammonia, 0
Nitrite, 0
Nitrates, 20 max
ph, 6.6-6.8
use aged water with HCL and Prime

Any help would be great
Cheers
Michele

just along the top ridge towards the tail and on the base of the tail too, it gets redder than this at times at no particular time.???

cheers
