yeah its a gap, i asked this earlyer in my post about this. i havent seen a pic of a JD with a gap in the dorsal fin. it looks like its meant to be there not like a nipped fin. has anyone seen this before also i bought another JD today a little 1.5 incher hard to tell the sex and take a picture of. hopeing its a male. i noticed a little white sore looking thing where his right side fin (srry ima noob with the finnage terms) meets his body. there were others at the lfs with the same thing i asked buddy to grab one without it but he was a douche. anyone know what it could be. it doesnt seem to bother him.
