This is Marble

My question is whats going on with his fins?

He was like that the day i got him, and has remaind just so. There has been no deteriation or discolouration and he seems really happy. I conditioned him and have spawned him succesfully with no change to his health (he still tells me off to if i put my finget on HIS glass)

lol thanks, yes he is a HM and i'm hoping his kids carry that colour, i lurve that blue.

If you look near the ends of all his fins you can see they are almost folded over, not so much on his tail mainly near the top. It could just be a defect but i want to be sure its nothing worse

Yes I see it now, I guess nobody's perfect but he's still beautiful and I'm sure if it was anything horrendous he wouldn't be so happy x

It looks like a developmental growth problem, and he was like it before so not likely due to water conditions
