Title: White Adipose Fin
Post by: Wild Rover on December 08, 2014, 10:46:07 AM

Hi, one of my Congo Tetra's and one Sterbai Cory have a white Adipose fin. I think the Congo may have always had it but I don't recall seeing it on the Cory. Both fish seem happy and normal and there doesn't appear to be any fluffiness, although as they are both fairly timid it's hard to get really close for a better look. Should I be concerned?

Thanks

Some of  my green neon tetras have this white adipose fin, and they've had it for a couple of years. Unless it looks like fungus, or spreads somewhere else, I would just keep an eye on them. If they are sick, their behaviour will change so that's when to think about treating the fish.
