looks like a female Black Phantom tetra. check out the pics of our on our website> Black Phantom tetra! 
Sorry im not sure what the white edges are but my guess is the beginning of a bacterial fin rot infection. Of course, it could be a natural feature such as on the fins of male neon tetras but im not familiar with your kind of tetra (head light?)
Sharpened up the pic a bit to try and make it out:

The fish is Hemigrammus ocellifer, we were discussing the discoloration of the anal fin., the white bit.
Pebbs, it's really hard to see, frankly it doesn't look bad. This and a few other characins do have a whitish leading edge to the dorsal and anal fins. Yet you say it is getting worse, which is odd, however, I trust your judgement.
Fin rot is a bacterial problem and is a feature of badly maintained tanks really, and I don't think yours are. Fungus tends to look like fungus, it's lumpy or hairy or, fungusy looking, and you say this is not.
Are the Hemi's still obviously "out of balance"?

All of my H&TL tetras have the same white coloring on there fins. they have been that way ever since I've got them, and their fins aren't rotting away.
I assume its just the same for yours.
