Well, you know, we should see more pics... after all, we could be wrong. :) Yet, it does seem to be a juvenile red-fin. The spots were the tell-tales, for me.

Giants will eat the plants unfortunately... then again, I used to keep the two I had in a tank with lots of crinum thaianum... they never touched it. Then again I dunno what they would have done when they would have gotten bigger...
 
Cool fish, shame about the tattoo,

Been away on the discus forums for a few days, lost a a fish :-(

Hope all is well and everyone's gg's are happy and content.... George is now a firm favorite of soft cheese, messes the tank up though, so have had to double water changes, still on lettuce etc. as a staple though......

Mine just get pellets and mussle and prawn mainly.
 
I picked up a black background for Gussy, figuring it would look nice with the whole family showing up tomorrow. Unfortunately, after I pulled the top off the tank and slid the background in, Gussy freaked out and went for a walk. Out of the tank. On the desk. Then on the carpet. I picked him up and put him in the tank (missed an opportunity to measure and weigh him, hehe), but he somehow cut himself during the adventure. Now there's blood on the carpet and the tank is a lovely hue of red, perfect for Halloween. Too bad we're celebrating Thanksgiving, huh? My wife will be soooo pleased with the "new" look for the guests....

There seems to be some skin scraped back in his anus region, and I think the gill area is where the blood came from, though I don't see any injury there. The last inch of his tail is a vivid red, rather pretty actually. Although he seems very passive towards me when I get in front of the tank (no "kissing"), everything else appears OK.

I've had him on Melafix, an antibacterial fish medication, since Friday in an attempt to "seal" his fins (see comments from Yanbbrox a few pages ago), I'm guessing I should continue the treatment, possibly for a longer period of time now?
