Eupterus fin oddity

Post by Zolek »

Can anyone tell me what is going on with my Eupterus cat's fins. The first ray on both his dorsal and tail fins seems to never stop growing. Hes about 2.5 years old now and its ~3 inches long off his fin.

Looks fine to me...this fish looks to be in good shape, healthy and has good growth as a result.
