hmmm what do you mean when you say red fins near the gills?
Is there anything the they can cut themselves on in the tank.

any other signs that van help us understand which disease we are dealing with. How is the water quality.

they may be rubbing on something in your tank and cut themselves. Whaqt's in your tank?

Yes: Checking the ammonia levels is highly recommended since it can cause some of the problems you fish sounds to be suffering from.

are the catfish with the poisonous fin able to be kept with other fish? caus i just added 3 with my koi and my convicts and 4 days later my koi died

which species of catfish to you mean.

it sound to me like they got what is called, Reddening of body and fins.

the bottle of Pimafix will take care of that. if it not to late.

i see it alot in others peoples fish.

but this is just my 2 cent worth, for what it worth.

plus if that ,what they got. salt will help.
