Temperature 80. Double Filtered and heated. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, ~30 nitrate taken via test strips. Have had her probably 6 months.
Lives with 2 honey gouramis, 3 kuhli loaches, and some shrimp

It could be tears, but tears lead to fin rot because of infection and stuff. So now it may be both, just monitor her and change your water and look for anything that might be scratching her fins. The longer guys are harder to keep the fins pristine on :/

Probably fin rot? If it were tears or bites, I would expect more rigid cuts.
On another note, you’ll probably be bombarded with “test strips don’t work!”, which is true, so I’m just giving you a fair warning and pointing you in the direction of the API master liquid test kit.

It could be fin rot that resulted from tears… whatever the case, i’d focus on getting some tannins into your water. It’s naturally antibacterial and will help him heal. They also just love having tanniny water
