Thick Lipped Gourami (Potential Fin Problem)

[pitcairnpete]

Hello, Just wanted to make sure that my thick lipped gourami were doing well in their new enclosure

Both females seem fine, but the male on the other hand is showing a few different signs.

The main difference I can note is that he seems to have the small spines of the main back fin turning to a brown colour. He is swimming about fine, eating tubifex and flake fine. Just that, is it indicative of a more serious problem or is he just maturing.

Thanks

Seems to have a slight redness starting from the base of the caudal fin. May be juvenile changing colour.. Anyone?
