Hello All. I have been a long time reader of the forum and finally decided to make an account. After a years long break from keeping Discus, I decided to get back into the hobby this past February.
There was a several week period of high aggression in the tank sometime around March/April. This resulted in many torn fins, with most all of them healing properly in no time. However, my Albino Yellow sustained some fin tearing that did not heal properly, as seen in the pic below.

I've read Al's thread from years ago about trimming improperly healed fins, and was wondering if anyone has an opinion about whether the fins on this fish could be fixed by trimming them. Obviously this is only an aesthetic issue, but I just hate seeing the huge chunk gone from the fins of one of my favorite fish lol.
