Tank conditions? Is this the tremendously overstocked 1 gallon?

Also, can you give a better description? Eating away... like disapearing? Is there any color or texture to the areas?

no this is the guppies in the 10g tank. I was going to put them in the 70g tank and then put the 20 fry in the 10g tank when I noticed the disease. The dorsal fins look like they have been bitten off and the area around them looks discolored/almost clear and flakey...also swollen. Tank conditions are excellent except the disease of course.

Could it be fin rot?

Here are some sites on it:
