I picked up a new little guy a few days ago, a gorgeous crowntail I named Grima. I'm just a little concerned about his fins, I'm unsure if he's in the first stages of fin rot or if it's his natural colour. I've never owned a crowntail before so I'm not sure what signs I'm looking for. Here's some pics.

That's just natural. Nothing to worry about

That's a relief. I have a halfmoon with black outline on his fins but I'm never sure when it comes to crowntails. Thanks

Fin rot with crowntails are sometimes hard to distinguish but checking very closely, there would be frizz or a split end at the very tip. Sometimes at the fin base which is harder to treat

That is definitely just natural coloring.    Very pretty boy you got there.  With fin rot, you will look for fins that look like they are melting or disintegrating.
