I have noticed my Multicolored VT Absolem's (Who I am trying to prepare for breeding) fins are not the same as they used to be. I went back and looked at some pictures I have of him before my move.
This is Absolem in his 1/2 gallon room temperature bowl at my old house before the move.
Sorry about the blur here...
This is Absolem maybe a month or so later in his split 10 Gallon heated tank. I've noticed that there almost seems to be a tear in the dorsal fin and the ends of almost all or his fins are almost clear.
(I took pictures on my phone so forgive the crappiness of them)
This one shows the ends of his fins a bit. His behavior is normal, but he does not flare at his reflection, however, I haven't ever seen him flare at his reflection. I put some aquarium salt in with him but I haven't done anything other than that. The dividers are smooth so nothing he could tear his fins on.
Thoughts? I've considered that maybe his fins are just growing because they are larger than in the previous pictures.
