irregular fin

Post by mpalffy »

Our yellow bullhead seems to be in great shape; except the bottom edge of his anal fin is slightly irregular. Could this be an indicator of some problem? If so, what might be a good way to deal with this? Thanks!

What do you mean by irregular? Torn? Ragged?

Looks like an old injury that didn't heal completely. Nothing to worry about.
