As I had said the pectoral fin base of silver Arowana is somewhat brown pinkish in colour is this normal ??? got myself one from LFS (it was in a fiberglass pond with many others) and was wondering if anyone had noticed this or is this a sign of infection ?IMG_20210531_155507.jpg

I don't think it's infected but just monitor that area and keep aquarium water in pristine condition.
Doing 30% water changes every 6 days and was worried because I had some fish with septicemia before and had removed them and bleached the tank. And I got this guy and saw this (and thought after all that hassle of removing everything and bleach this came with that again)
