Yep, my petsmart senegalus has no red or tint in its tail. He's been with me about 5 weeks I think. Taking a few culled guppy fry

Some senegals do have reddish colors at the tail regions as part of their natural coloration, so it doesn't necessarily always mean they have some sort of disease. All of my senegals have them and the oldest of them is about 2 years old.

I think the coloration he is talking about is the blood that's visible in the tail region. The tail is so thin, you can see a reddish area b/c of the light. No worries
