what is this?

Right, thanks, nice to have a second point of view as I just wasn't sure.
I'll start treatment after my next water change.

Mel,

Sounds to me like it could be columnaris. Treat for this I would.

Reason I say it might be as my fish had a similar problem
a few months back. Thats what I treated for (after advice
from Ingrid) and it did the trick - took a few days though.

That's good news, fingers crossed then.
Mel.

Are you in the Uk too? If so what did you use to treat it? I have Interpet
anti fungus and finrot which says it treats it but if you can recommend
anything else I'll give it a go.

Mel,

Yes I'm in the UK, Wiltshire. I used Interpet anti-fungus.

Ingrid where do you get potassium permanganate - I have no idea
where to get it from. They do not stock it in my LFS.

I live in Canada and found it in a farm supply store. It is used for
cleaning of some sort, but they only had a 40 l pail. You might
try there. Otherwise you could buy it over the net and get it sent to
you. There is a link on the puregold site for a place that sells it.

we dont get it in LFS either. I order it online. there is also a premixed type...
kordon has it I think. Most people find it at water softening companies. Ingrid
