Where the ducks walk on the fish, PA
I was just looking at my fish in my 55 and I noticed that there is red at the base of my gold sevs tail fin, red at the base of all 3 of my blusher angels anal fins. None of the fish are acting abnormal. All of them have eaten. Poop is normal too. None of the fish in the tank seem sick at all. Params are 78 F, Am 0, Ni 0, Na 20.

The only fish that I see this on are the light colored ones. So is it normal looking to you? Am I just being paranoid??

pretty normal for light colored fish.
I see this on healthy gold Angels frequently

Thanks star_rider. Now that I think about it, I don't think I have ever had light colored fish before. I just saw the red at the bases of fins and got paranoid. Usually it means something bacterial in the tank. You read about so many problems so I am always checking for spots, streaks, bloatedness...you name it.
