Pics? We need your pics as well as water parameters, tank size, tankmates, foods used, new additions in your tank and tank maintenance regimen to be able to pinpoint the cause.

What exactly are the water parameters? What test kit are you using?

i dont use them. can anyone just tell me if theres a desease which turns the edgings of the fins black? or is it just a coloration of the fish as it is a hybrid

The fins sound like they're deteriorating to me. Buy API test kit to determine your water parameters. Water changes will do for now until you can tell us your water parameters.

okay thanks for the responce, i did an unusualy large one at the weekend and it looks to be dissapearing now! so i guess it was just a water quality issue as i did have a fish die in there the week before. thanks for your help Lupin and Dr Joe, il be sure to get some test kits in future =)

Glad the water changes helped. I'd do daily for now until the fins recover completely. Then make every 2-3 days as your new routine to avoid another incident.
