| Not sure if its the photo mate, but your albino looks too have some problems with his fins, could be due to fighting with another male, or on a serious note (hope its not) could be fin rot. |

Whoops 
they should heal up fine though, but I always add in some melafix to make sure torn fins dont get infected_________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable

| My albino longfin male has a shorter tail now for the same reason. He tried to take the cave from a bigger pep male on eggs. Big mistake lol. But torn fins should heal up nicely. My albino longfin females get torn fins every now n then when the male isn't ready or is already on eggs (he doesn't let them in if he's got eggs strangely enough) |

|  about the melafix, although the fins show no sign of infection it will not harm to be on the safe side. |

| Nice pics  Sorry about the fin wounds though  they should be ok though! Very nice tank set-up-  they must all be pretty happy in there. Sounds like you have some good daddies in there! Salud! |
