ThatOneGuy23 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) I know the pictures aren't high quality, but I tried for half an hour and these were the best I could get. I posted the same question on reddit with video bit can't post it here. His top tail fin has been torn like this for a month at least and I'm worried it's progressing to fin rot. Can anyone tell me if it is fin rot and if so, what else can I do about it? I'm using API Stress Guard and indian almond leaves at the moment Ammonia and nitrites: 0ppm Nitrates: 40ppm (doing water changes to get this down over the course of a couple days) pH: 8.2 Edit: added pics from when I brought him home for comparison Edited November 15, 2021 by ThatOneGuy23 Adding pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Hi, welcome to the forum. Firstly, beautiful betta. As you suspect it is hard to tell if there is fin rot. I see you are doing your best to mitigate any potential damage caused by water parameters. You might also want to check all area of your tanks and where your betta hangs out the most for anything that migh cause further damage to his fins. Keep the water clean and the stress low. Also here is a helpful video on treating betta fin rot: Edited November 15, 2021 by xXInkedPhoenixX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also here is a helpful video on treating betta fin rot: Thank you very much for the kind words! I do have some sharper rocks that may have caused some damage, I've since sanded them down and will likely be replacing them with river stone that my family ordered for a backyard renovation, I'm sure they won't miss a couple of them lol. I will keep up with the water changes and get my boy some new decor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
