hi fish_r
thats ok,they say it comes from hormones in beef heart.
i think it looks great on some fish,in germany we call it flags.
they can grow a fair bit bigger than that.
no reason to worry about.

some strains seem to have it, you'll generally find it more pronounced in males. It can increase your chances of sexing them accurately.
Here's the 2005 aquarama grand champion and it has it, so you can rest easy. :D
