No, new healthy fin growth is often clear or whitish at first. That's normal. Don't panic! Keep the water very clean & the clear fin parts should turn into his pretty red normal in a few weeks. Patience is a virtue often with fish tanks...
dougall & I tease each other but we both offer good advice in different ways as to plants. He has much more experience with many plants, both high & low tech (he also goes to plant conventions all over sometimes; I've never been...) He's better at ferts...way, way better! but some plants don't care all that much. Either way you can have a pretty tank...even with Sponge Bob or Star Trek themes...tell us what you want we'll try help!...
