    Is your tank well established? What is the temperature, Ammonia, Nitrite readings? What other tankmates are there?

    Your tank has not finished cycling yet. It is very possible the redness is due to irritation from the ammonia and nitrite. Looks like you are a good 2 weeks out still. When did you set that tank up?
