Hair on dorsal fin

[Tin Pusher]

You remember the show Northern Exposure? You remember Adam's crazy wife that was always thinking she had some rare disease? There is a name for that and I think I have it, sort of. Heres a new one to go with the multiple symptons I have already posted for my Discus.

Recently noticed the top of dorsal of the female hair like filaments up to 1/2 inch long. These come right off the crest but on the male one strand comes off the side. I only use sponge filters so you can rule out filter floss caught on fin but that is what it looks like.

Thanks again (#158)

Well, obviously it's not hair. ??? Do you think it is a parasite or fungus filament . . . . ??? . . . . any pictures?

my fish have it right now too...i think its really stringy feces associated with hexamita, so i'm treating with metro. We'll see

Are the fins intact or are they a bit frayed?

Intact. Fish look great.
