Fin Rot?

[HonourWest]

Is this the first sign of fin rot? I'm worried about the edges of his fins- I'm not very familiar with bettas yet, so I'm not sure if I should be concerned or if it's just how his fins are meant to look.

• pH 6.6
• Nitrates 20
• Nitrite 0
• Ammonia 0

The slight loss of colour on the edge of his fins looks like the start of fin rot I would increase water changes and treat with maracyn as it only on the egde of his fins maracyn.will should get on top on it before it get worse

I took out the activated carbon from the filter two days ago as I was adding an Indian Almond Leaf to the tank. Is this okay or should I reverse those steps? (I think the fin rot may have started before this)

@ColuI have this stuff- it won't give me the ingredient listing so I don't know if it has maracyn in it. I also have antibiotic medication. Melafix is also readily available. What do you suggest? (Restricted to Australia)

The active ingredient in blue planet aquari cycline is tetracycline hydrochloride that what I would treat with
